The Highlands are burning, and Isla Sinclair is the only hand that can stop the fire her own father lit. His final move is to betroth her to a neighbouring laird, in a game that has already cost her two brothers their lives.
She has a plan: marry well, gain influence, and outwit her father. Then Gavin MacLaren walks back into her world, the broken fosterling everyone believed dead, the boy whose only light she had once been.
To save the Highlands, Isla must drive away the one man she has never stopped loving. Can she outplay her father, or will the fallen lion burn down everything she’s built?
