A ruthless Highlander, a brilliant English captive, and a mistake that will burn down the borders between love and war.

He was supposed to steal an heiress. Instead, he captured a weapon.

Ewan MacCray, the notorious "Savage of Skye," is desperate. His clan is starving, his cousins are rotting in an English prison, and his crumbling fortress is all that stands between his people and annihilation. He needs leverage. He needs gold. He needs to kidnap the daughter of the English General who hunts them.

But in the blinding snow of a Highland blizzard, Ewan makes a catastrophic mistake.

He grabs the wrong woman.

She was always the spare. Until she became necessary.

Lady Isabella Sterling has spent her life ignored, hiding her brilliance behind spectacles and silence. She is the poor relation, the forgettable cousin—until a terrifying, scarred giant of a man drags her from her carriage and throws her into a ruined castle.

Isabella knows she should be terrified of the barbarian who holds her captive. Yet, as she looks around his failing defenses, her engineer’s mind sees what the warlord a way to survive.

A passion forged in fire and stone.

When Isabella’s own family abandons her, Ewan offers her the only protection he has his name. A marriage of convenience to save her from the English, and to secure her help in finding lost Jacobite gold.

But as Isabella rebuilds his walls, she begins to tear down his own defenses. Ewan finds himself obsessed with the sharp-tongued Sassenach who challenges his authority and ignites a possessive fire in his blood.

When a sadistic enemy from her past arrives to claim her, the Savage of Skye must decide what he is truly fighting for. He stole her for ransom, but he will wage war against an empire to keep her.
