Lachlan MacLean wishes he had died. He has no memory of the battle, only the battlefield angel who saves him. Once he is at her cottage, he grows close to Kimbra and her daughter, Audra. He carries on the tale that he is English, but he knows in his heart that he is a Scottish warrior. When Cedric, a Charlton kinsman, comes to the cottage to ply his marriage proposal to the lovely widow, Lachlan/Robert takes an instant dislike to the man. Once he gains his strength and health back, he spends more time in the company of mother and daughter and finds he is falling fast for something he fears he can never have.

Soon the head of the Charlton family finds out about Lachlan, and in order to protect Kimbra's reputation, Lachlan goes to live at the Charlton tower. Kimbra urges him to escape across the border into Scotland, where hopefully someone will recognize him, but he doesn't want to leave the woman he loves.

Ms. Potter adds intrigue, deceit and uses characters from previous books to make this medieval tale a book to remember. Excellent visuals, tender lovemaking and determined characters will have readers speeding through the pages to see what happens next.
