1794 Scotland. A novel of survival, honour, and courage, where identity is not inherited but forged.
When family, honour, and love are lost…
What would you risk to reclaim them?
It is 1795, and the Scottish Highlands are ravaged by dark times. Almost fifty years after the Battle of Culloden, sheep have become more profitable than people and landlords rule with an iron fist, mercilessly evicting their tenants. Yet even the Lowlands have not escaped the wrath of revolution.
Near the border town of Gretna Green, Bethany wakes bloodied with no memory of her past and enemies she cannot name. She knows only one thing: Someone wanted her erased from existence, but she survived.
When handsome cousins Calum and William MacLeod offer Bethany their protection, it’s a chance for her to reclaim her lost life. Drawn into a world of Highland rogues and mysterious foes, Bethany tastes freedom she never knew existed, and in the arms of passionate Angus Bell, she awakens to desires that both thrill and terrify her. But even as she learns what it means to truly live, shadows from her past creep in, and she soon discovers that forgetting can be a mercy—and remembering a curse.
Now, with her past closing in and her heart divided, Bethany must face an impossible choice: surrender to those who would control her destiny, or fight for an uncertain future she may not survive to claim. But in the brutal Borderlands of Scotland, some secrets refuse to stay buried—and some men will kill to possess what they believe belongs to them.
