In the face of duty, can their forbidden love survive?

Having conquered his past demons, Bryan’s loyalty to his laird and friend is unwavering. As Captain of the Guard, he’s willing to go to extreme lengths to fight the looming threat of the McGregors to prove his worth to Laird Alex—even if it means betraying his own beliefs and abducting a lady.

Katherine, often overshadowed by her older sister Romily, possesses a kind and gentle spirit. Her quiet compliance shatters when she learns of her sister’s imprisonment by the Oliphant Clan. When the Oliphant Captain takes her back to his clan, her determination and loyalty will be swiftly tested.

Instead of prejudice and animosity, she finds unexpected kindness and care in Oliphant Keep, especially from Bryan. However, duty outweighs desire, and Katherine becomes a pawn in the delicate peace between the McGregor and Oliphant Clans. Bryan must stifle his growing feelings and let her go, while Katherine faces a heart-wrenching choice between family loyalty and the greater good. Can love truly flourish when honor demands sacrifice?
