BOOK  #1

Cainnech (Cain) MacPherson's hatred for the English was born when he was seven, the day they raided his village and killed his family. They took everything from him and tossed him onto the battlefield. Now, as Robert the Bruce's most formidable, most lethal warrior, he wreaks havoc on his enemy, taking land by force and without mercy. But when he raids a small castle in Northumberland, he faces his greatest opponent yet-a beautiful Norman lass who will see him dead at any cost rather than give up her home. Aleysia d'Argentan will do anything to keep the hated Scots out of her castle and away from her villagers. She has prepared for this day for the last four years, building traps in the forest, poisoning the grain, and hiding daggers wherever she could use them to kill her enemy. But she isn't prepared for the Highland warlord who invades her life-and her heart.
