Summary
In 1945, Claire Beauchamp Randall steps through the standing stones of Craigh na Dun and finds herself thrust into a Scotland torn by rebellion, suspicion, and war. A healer by training, a survivor by necessity, she is caught between clans and crowns, hunted by men who wear her husband’s face yet know nothing of mercy.
At Castle Leoch, she falls under the watchful eye of Dougal MacKenzie—war chief, Jacobite loyalist, and a man whose blunt strength conceals as many secrets as her own. Dougal does not trust the Sassenach stranger, yet he cannot look away; she loathes his harshness, yet finds herself drawn to the fire in him even as it threatens to consume her.
Their alliance is one of necessity, barbed with suspicion and sharpened by desire. Each step along the gathering roads binds them closer: through whispered accusations, shared danger, and nights where silence weighs heavier than speech. As the Highlands pull her deeper into a world of oaths and blood, Claire must choose where her loyalties lie—and whether survival means surrendering her heart to the man she swore to resist.
