Highlander's Warrior

Aila has had a hard life, and it only seemed to be getting worse as her uncle promised her to an old highlander Laird who wanted a bonny virgin. With no way to say no Aila is forced to start her journey to the Highlands, the home of her mother's people, where she hopes she might can find a way to make a new start away from her uncle, if only she could escape her impending marriage.

Alec MacKinnon has no wish to marry yet, though his father is insisting on him providing an heir to the MacKinnon clan. Alec instead wishes to make them more prosperous and to bring peace between his clan and the MacBeths. A long ago feud started over the Laird's daughter and his uncle who was enamored with the lass. She did not care for him, and when his affections were not returned his uncle had tried to kidnap the lass. Once she was found and returned, unharmed thankfully, she fled to the English where she married a rich Earl she claimed to love. Angus MacBeth blames the MacKinnon's for running his only daughter off. Now he wants to set things right.
