Alisder and many of his men fell to the guns of an American Fighter Aircraft. Having survived so much, it was a bitter blow. In the field hospital one American redeems himself in the eyes of the Highlanders. Six years after the war is over, a weary Dr Colwin takes a trip to the Highlands with his Daughter Robyn. Robyn has spent the last few years looking after her grievously ill mother. Exhausted, father and daughter look forward to a short holiday at the invitation of Sir Alisder; given while lying on a hospital, but never forgotten. Now two hearts and two cultures are about to collide. Can the Clan forgive the grievances of the past and let true love flourish? Sir Alisder is about to face his last battle, but not with a ruthless enemy. A battle with his own heart and the hearts of his clan.
