Only her affection for Meggie the tiny girl he claims is his daughter stops her from fleeing. Then a mysterious woodcarver arrives at the castle. James Drummond, an outcast, wants what was stolen from him his good name, his lands, and his child. His disguise for getting into Dunncraig is step one of his plan, but the enticing raven-haired woman who cares for his daughter is an unwelcome surprise. For he has come seeking justice, not love. This is the fifteenth book in the series & could certainly be read on its own however be aware that this is a re issue from about ten years ago. James & Annora are strong characters & I really liked them, the story of them falling in love & the road to their HEA isn't easy but I was engrossed in their journey. The characters are well fleshed & the pace is good. There are revelations that were unexpected. I did wonder why the Murray clan hadn’t used their power to help James, leaving him to be ‘on the run’ for years with him living in caves didn't sit well with me. I certainly will be reading more from the series My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Several years ago I read through all of Hannah Howell's books up to the last few. I remember this one and it has not changed in reading again. A tale of a man who has lost everything and a woman who is caught in a terrible situation. Can they save each other? James lost his wife and child in a fire and to make matters worse, he was accused of murder by Sir Donnell MacKay who then took his castle, Dunncraig Keep and declared James an outlaw. Annora is the poor cousin of MacKay and has come to Dunncraig to care for his daughter. Unfortunately Donnell treated her and his daughter terribly. James finally comes out of hiding three years later and it determined to find the truth. So he comes in disguise to the castle and everything takes off from there. Can he rescue his daughter and Annora? Will he be caught and hanged for a crime he did not commit? As in all of Hannah's stories, this one will keep you on the edge, waiting to find out what happens. The entire Murray Family series is wonderful so don't miss this one!

Suspense, action, and true love all in one great story and more...
