In the Fourteenth Century, the war for Scotland’s independence from the English rages on. Brigid MacAulish, daughter of Black Fionghan MacAulish, Laird of clan MacAulish, is called upon to help care for an English prisoner taken captive after a raid on her ancestral home, Carmody Castle. When her father later decrees that she is to wed the boorish Diarmad MacGillivray, her heart sinks, and she turns to the young English prisoner for help.

Desperate, she agrees to help the English prisoner escape the castle … if he will do her a favor in return: if he will give her the tenderness she knows her future husband never will. Will the prisoner accept her offer? And what will their one night of tenderness and passion mean in the midst of war between the English and the Scots?
