What this book is about
Lady Judith of England and Scottish laird Iain MacBain are betrothed by their clans to prevent war — a marriage neither desires. Judith is warm and manages people with natural ease; Iain is fierce, distrustful of all women, and determined to keep her at a distance. What begins in mutual wariness becomes something neither expected. A classic of Scottish medieval historical romance from one of the genre's most beloved authors.
