Waryk de Graham, knighted Lord Lion for his loyalty and service to King David, is ordered to marry Mellyora MacAdin, the daughter of a Gaelic noblewoman and a Viking warlord, and while the enmity between the two soon turns to desire, the mistrust they harbor must die before true love can be born.

To preserve her ancestral lands, a bold and beautiful woman chooses to marry an aging French noble rather than King Edward I's choice, the rebellious Scot who killed her father. But when she is swept away from her land and into an arranged marriage, the Scot is the only one who can rescue her from treachery and an accusation of murder.

After staking her fortune and reputation to help Mary, Queen of Scots take her rightful place on the throne, Lady Gwyneth Macleod finds herself at dangerous odds with Rowan Graham, a powerful laird to whom she is attracted.
