Lady Eilis was a ward of her uncle Creardach. Her cousin, Lady Agnes, had just died from the fever. Agnes had been betrothed to sixty year-old Laird Dunbarton. Now her uncle insists she take her cousin's place. From now on she would be known as Agnes, his daughter. She would marry Laird Dunbarton, securing ties with their clan. The whole clan was forced to acknowledge her as Agnes or suffer the consequences. Lady Eilis reluctantly went aboard the ship that would take her to her new life. The ship was demolished in a storm and the only survivor, Lady Eilis, hung on to a bit of wood and was battered against the rocks. She was plucked from a sure drowning by two Scotsmen. They took her to their castle and this is where her life would begin.

I love Medieval times, especially in Scotland. I know times were tough and dangerous but I like the romantic side. The unusual names, the dialogue, wonderful clothes, and the beauty of the surrounding area. The men were, for lack of a better word ,"men" with their muscle-hard, battle scarred bodies. The women were feisty but always had a soft side for their men. This book draws you into this world, all I needed was bagpipe music playing in the background.

The author kept the story interesting with romance and a little intrigue. The dialogue felt authentic and the plot crystallized into a fanciful historical romance.
