By: Lori Ann Bailey

Narrated by: Mhairi Morrison

Scotland, 1642. Maggie and Lachlan must fight their growing attraction, battling suspicion, and intrigue as religious and political turmoil threaten to tear their clans apart.

He has sworn he will never marry.

Lachlan Cameron is honor bound to see a wounded lass to safety, although he has well learned women are deceivers, and this lovely maid harbors a wealth of secrets. But Maggie's free spirit and charms enthrall him while he works to discover if she is innocent...or a spy scheming with his enemies to destroy his clan.

She has sworn she will never fall in love.

Maggie Murray fled her home to avoid a political marriage to an abusive man. Salvation comes when the Cameron laird, unaware of her identity, protects her as she escapes. His kindness slowly warms her, and she's tempted to confess her real name. But his strong sense of honor would force him to return her to her father...and torment at the hands of her scorned betrothed.

Contains mature themes.

I love the narrator and her accent

the book was wonderful no dry parts and no parts that were making me frustrated but a heart warming happy book.

I loved everything about the book

how they stuck together through thick and thin.And the caring they had .The whole clan was very close. I wish I lived in a clan.!

loved it

Well narrated.Story with suspense,lots of romance.I am not a person of many words.I enjoyed the Audible book.

Loved Series

I love how the stories tied together. I liked how their was violence but it was resloved but not in great detail. I loved the series.

Unexpected Jem

I was pleasantly surprised. This is the first book I’ve listened to by this author and it was so good. I’m going to start her next book immediately! It had everything I could want in a historical romance and more. Well written and the narrator did a great job at bringing the characters to life.

Irritating lack of communication

I found this story annoying in that the author found it necessary for the main characters to NOT be able to draw courage and speak their minds!! Laird indeed-he ALWAYS believed the worst about Maggie when a situation arose. Total childish behavior. This total arrogance and disrespect left me feeling that yes, like a lot of men, he couldn’t handle being in the wrong. Terrible narration of the Scottish accent. Most of the story sounded like Irish teenagers.

not bad

Lachlan & Maggie: triggers- sexual assault, domestic abuse, kidnapping. Maggie is betrothed to a bad man, so to avoid the marriage, she leaves her home. Lachlan is on a mission to stop a man from trying to kill his own father. They meet after Maggie helps to heal Lachlan's brother and Lachlan thinks he's trying to kill him. After that it's a story of secrets and omitted truths in order to avoid getting married, on both sides. But that doesn't stop them from falling in love. For the most part it's a sweet story but these historical highland books are beginning to so sound the same.
