For more than a decade, while the First War of Scottish Independence rages, fierce warrior Conall MacGregor has dreamed of the revenge he will have against the man who robbed him of his family and home. To this end, he abducts the daughter of his enemy, hoping to force a marriage and reclaim what is rightfully his. He has no idea that the stubborn lass will turn his world upside-down, and that he will be the one held captive.

Half-English Tess Munro has no plans to shame her father and people by wedding MacGregor the Murderer. Despite her tremendous fear and a regrettable liking of his kisses, she staunchly refuses to wed him. She tries often to escape, both Conall and the hateful people of Inesfree, who leave no question about their absolute distrust and dislike of the Munro prisoner.

Soon, Conall's reasons for stealing Tess grow more distant, and Tess's desire to flee begins to fade, but a threat greater than their own pride will challenge the very fragile existence of their growing desire for each other.

Conall MacGregor has conquered many enemies, but can he win the heart of one stubborn lass?

Contains mature themes.

I have absolutely loved all of Rebecca Ruger’s books - gripping stories with the perfect balance of romance & adventure. Beautiful characters that the reader is quick to delight in… and I’m so glad to now be able to listen to the stories & indeed pick out many different nuances that my first time read missed. I’m so glad to report that performer Stewart Crank has most definitely done justice to this brilliant book - thank you so much.

So glad this is now available in Audio format

Firstly the story was overlong and not very much happened for long periods. The heroine was ridiculously unbelievable though the hero was portrayed somewhat better. Sadly whilst the narrator did great voices and I applaud him for those and his accents, the general narration was quite stilted.
Before writing something which pertains to be an historical novel please read a history book or two of the times involved. A garderobe would never be a bathing chamber but was a toilet. In a castle that would be an exit over the outer walls with a midden area beneath. Not somewhere you’d want to bathe.
On the whole not worth 12 hours of your time or a credit.
This is only my opinion.

History it isn’t
