Nessa has a mission. One of an ancient secret order of druidesses dedicated to defending Scotland from invaders over the centuries, she’s now charged with discovering the plans of the English. The enemy are gaining a foothold on Scottish soil—and they must be stopped.
All Nessa has to do is seduce Hugh de Burgh—the English king’s right-hand—and she will be able to gain the secrets she seeks.
Loyal, strong, and sensual, Hugh is an easy man to like. As such, the lines between duty and the yearnings of Nessa’s own heart soon start to blur. What starts as a seduction turns into untameable love—one that is forbidden to them both.
