Rodric Anderson isn't a soldier anymore. Nay, many would refer to him as a mercenary-a soldier for hire. He's embroiled in a Duncan clan matter.
He's also hunted by the authorities, wanted by women, and tied to none. He's a part of a band of brothers, all former soldiers, some outlaws, all who make themselves available for the right coin-sometimes, the right cause.
One woman has caught his eye. A shrew of a woman. Why was it he could not get her out of his mind?
Caitlin's hand has been given in marriage by her wretch of a stepfather to a man who is no less a wretch himself. Her only escape is to run away. Except that things are never quite so simple when it comes to choices.
