Robert Edenhall, the Duke of Devonbrook, had once been a dashing second son, a man without a worry or care, before a terrible tragedy took nearly everything from him. Retreating to a remote castle in the Scottish Highlands, he thinks to live out his days in broken solitude. But he never expected he would soon discover a mysterious young woman trespassing in his home. Catriona MacBryan has spent a happy childhood in the Scottish Highlands, raised on legend and lore, never knowing the true circumstances surrounding her birth. When she unexpectedly stumbles upon the new laird of Rosmorigh, what she sees is a man in torment, a torment she instinctively seeks to heal. But soon, a chance meeting threatens to reveal a long-hidden truth, and Catriona finds she must bravely face the efforts of those who threaten her. Will the truth prevail...and, perhaps, even lead to love?
