Love touched them. Treachery divided them. One night of passion binds them.
Betrayed by her father, Marsaili Campbell risks her life to recover what he has stolen from her. But when she’s kidnapped and wagered away, she has no one to help her escape other than the very man she’s spent the past three years trying to forget—Highland warrior Callum Grant. She once gave her heart and her innocence to the handsome Scot, only to regret her naive decisions. Still, with more enemies than she can battle alone, she needs an ally, even if she must hide the truth of her circumstances from him.
Laird Callum Grant thrust his clan into war for the love of a woman, only to lose her forever. But when the woman he believed dead appears at his clan’s tourney in dire trouble, there’s no denying Marsaili has been alive all this time. With his clan weakened from the years of raids and battles, however, he cannot afford to do anything that would ruin the betrothal he’s made to secure his clan’s future. Yet he can’t turn away from the woman who once beguiled him body and soul.
As Callum and Marsaili embark on a dangerous journey, each touch, each look, each clash of wills reignites their desire in an all-consuming inferno. But the secret Marsaili keeps and the duty that shackles Callum are threatening to destroy them. That is, unless they can learn that love, once truly given, is unbreakable.
For a number of years, I have had the privilege of serving on several authors’ ARC teams. Ms Julie Johnstone is one of my favorites. Her books are never quick afternoon reads, but rather her work is meant to be savored and enjoyed. Johnstone is a master with character development and action scenes. One of her many books is When a Scott Gives His Heart. The story of Marsaili Campbell and Callum Grant is a complicated but thrilling love story. Johnstone spins a tale of action, true love, and betrayal that pierces the heart. I couldn’t put it down. This is book seven in the Highlander Vows: Entangled Hearts series. Although it can be read as a standalone book, I recommend the entire series for the richness of the story.
