What happens when an interfering lass storms into a battle-hardened Highlander's life and turn it upside down? Bryston McPherson lost everything the night his wife was murdered. Since then, he's wanted only solitude and a chance to escape the guilt and grief that have haunted him for years. But when a fiery Highland lass storms into his life, bringing danger, defiance, and a glimpse of joy he thought lost forever, Bryston wishes for something he no longer believes he deserves: love and a future with her. Branwen Glanville never expected her world to collide with Bryston's. She certainly didn't plan to be spirited away aboard the former buccaneer's ship, fearing for her life and his. Nor did she imagine she'd fall for the brooding warrior who saved her from certain death. But fate has a way of overturning expectations-and her heart is no longer hers to guard. He's certain he has nothing left to give. She's determined to prove him wrong. Can a broken hero and a bold spitfire rewrite their ending before danger tears them apart-or will love slip through their fingers once again?
