Scotland, 1745. Against the bloody background of the Battle of Culloden, another war was waged and won--the price was honor, the victory, love.

Scottish beauty Serena MacGregor's hatred of all English began as a child when she watched as a band of Englishmen attacked her mother. Her brother's friend Brigham Langston was no exception to Serena's loathing--despite his supposed loyalty to the Scottish cause?and his good looks.

Although Brigham eventually proves himself worthy of the MacGregor family's respect, Serena is still reluctant to abandon her hatred for him and his heritage. But Brigham has other plans. Serena has captivated him with her beauty, her passion for life and commitment to her beliefs--and he refuses to let her antagonistic attitude keep him from winning her. And Serena must learn to open her mind--as Brigham opens his heart--to see the true love awaiting her.

Reality and Fantasy Join Forces

Startling romance tangled with the reality of the Battle of Culloden of 1746. As a young girl growing up in Glenroe Forest, Scotland, Serena MacGregor must face the horror of watching her mother brutally attacked and raped in their home after a group of English soldiers (lead by one Captain Standish) break into their home looking for her father. At only eight years of age, Serena is left at the scene after the soldiers take their leave to care for her broken mother and protect her younger sister (Gwen) and baby brother (Malcolm) while her older brother, Coll and father are on their way home from a hunting trip. Serena grows up despising anything and anyone British. Ten years later, her brother Coll brings home a young Englishman who goes by the title, Lord Ashburn, a/k/a, Brigham Langston. Serena is not only completely unimpressed by his good looks and charm, but feels a deep contempt for him because of his heritage. Brigham has come to support the cause of the Scots in an attempt to restore the House of Stuart (Prince Charles Edward Stuart) to his rightful throne of the Kingdom of Great Britain. As the Battle between the Jacobites (most of them Highland Scots) and the British Government heats up, Serena and Brigham are completely drawn to one another. While Brigham realizes this attraction is actually love at a very early stage of their relationship, Serena refuses to be a part of his life as he is an Englishman and represents everything she has grown to despise. The story is a combination of love and war based on the true history of the Battle of Culloden. It is the beginning story of the MacGregor family, a family the reader can't help but admire. The story will leave you wanting more and Nora Roberts has written many more stories about the descendents of this magnificent clan!
