#1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood brings the soaring adventure, love and rivalry of medieval Scotland to glorious life in this classic historical romance.
Journeying from England to Scotland, Lady Brenna has resigned herself to an arranged match with a highlander. But when a band of fierce, painted warriors captures her en route, she fearlessly meets their demand to instead marry their leader—her betrothed’s sworn enemy—the quick-tempered Connor MacAlister.
Brenna harbors no illusions that her husband is in love with her, but their shared past gives her hope. Maybe the laird who once visited her father’s castle and charmed her with a dazzling, unexpected smile remains underneath Connor’s stern exterior.
But as she sets out to win the man whom she has come to adore, a legacy of revenge ensnares Brenna in a furious clan war—and only her faith in her new husband can save her…
Includes an excerpt of another beloved Julie Garwood highland romance, The Bride

Summary
Overall I loved Brenna from the beginning when she asks him to marry her at the age of five. Alec and Jamie from The Bride made several appearances which I loved. I enjoyed the two main characters; but also fell in love with Quinlan and Crispin. I hope they get their own books too. There are several of my favorite scenes in this book that you just want to share; but I don't want to spoil your fun. I highly recommend this book if you like romance, LOL antics, and a mystery all set to a historical
Scotland setting.
Violence Some Highlander fighting with swords,
Language Some curse words; nothing that distracts from the story. Mostly words like damn, hell.
Sexual There are several physicals scenes and some are described with detail. I would not recommend for a teen.
Drug & Alcohol Drinking of brandy.
