  This story starts off at house Critchfield with Mary Kate Attending her Aunt Sarah, Lady Aberfoyle of Edinburgh's, party where she dance's with a young Kenneth Gillespie. With the bagpipes playing loudly, and beautiful satin gown's awhirl Mary Kate is enjoying herself when there is a thunderous sound at the front door. The party, interrupted, stops and great the doors are opened to reveal four men. A Sir Adam Douglas of Tornary a close friend of the King, and a Sir William MacGaurie, the other two men are Sir Adam's men.

   This book was great, never a dull moment, I like the characters Mary Kate with her strong will and Sir Adam with his temper which is explosive when it comes to Mary Kate. I loved this Historical Romance, I give this book five stars.
