About this ebook

In medieval Scotland, the illegitimate children of a notorious criminal vie to claim their birthrights, and find that love is an even greater prize . . .
 
Edinburgh merchant Tavish Cameron has no choice but to pay outrageous tolls to the nobility, until fate gives him an unexpected opportunity for advancement. To claim Tower Roscraig, all he has to do is admit that he is the bastard son of a murdering baron…and evict the proud, impoverished Lady Glenna Douglas from her crumbling castle.
 
With her father ailing and her village devastated by illness, Glenna has lost almost everything except her home. Now a ruggedly handsome stranger intends to take that too. Until the king himself arrives to determine the rightful laird, Glenna and Tavish Cameron must share Tower Roscraig—resulting in a scandalous bargain.
 
But something deeper than passion ignites as they realize that Roscraig has been targeted by enemies. And only by uniting can they evade the traps set for them both . . .

Ratings and reviews

Although the first half of the story had a hard time keeping my interest, the second half was much better. Lots of intrigue and some twists and turns. I was a bit disappointed that there didn't seem to be much connection between Tavish and Glenna, most of the book they hated each other and then bam, they were in love! I just didn't feel the heat between them. Otherwise, the plot of the story was a good one and there are a couple of surprises at the end. I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

1427 Northumberland, England The beginning of this story had Thomas Annesley, barely alive, trying to get away from the man who killed his bethrothed and was trying to finish him off. This really grabbed my interest and I could not wait to read further. Then the story jumps to 31 years later in Edinburgh, Scotland to Tavish Cameron, who owns his own merchant shop an successful with his mother working with him. Regardless he is still a working class man and much beneath a lady he is attracted to and she to him. But the most unusual thing happens and he finds out he inherits a property in Scotland and is a Laird! But what he finds is Lady Glenna Douglas and her ill father living in the property and things turn terribly frustrating for both of them. Both claiming the property and I cannot say it was good how Tavish acted or Glenna. It is a very long and trying journey to find their happiness but also full of surprises and suspense. I did enjoy this story and only want to find out more so looking forward to the next story in this series! I read this through NetGallery and the fabulous publisher!
