Return to medieval Scotland in New York Times bestselling author Hannah Howell’s beloved and long-running iconic series featuring the proud, unforgettable men and women of the Murray clan. Reissued for the first time in over a decade!

Though she has yet to be courted by any man, spirited Gillyanne Murray decides the time has come to visit the dower lands gifted to her by her father's kinsmen. She arrives to find the small keep surrounded by three lairds, each one vying for her hand . . . and her property. Though resolved to refuse them all, the threat of battle on her threshold forces her to boldly choose a suitor: Sir Connor MacEnroy, a handsome, daring knight of few words.

As Connor’s wife, Gillyanne is stunned by his terse, cold distance—and her own yearning to feel passion in his arms. Now, bringing her healing touch to a land and a keep ravaged by treachery and secret enemies, she dares to reach out for the one thing she fears she may forever be denied . . . her husband's closely guarded heart.
