A warrior with powerful magic meets a healer with a will of her own!
Returning from a bloody battle to find his only son, Hamish, dying, the great warrior known only as the Sword of the Highlands, Merrick MacAndrew acts in desperation and kidnaps Allegra Drummond, the town's beautiful and dangerous healer to save his son's life.
When she resists his pleas for help Merrick resorts to blackmail, telling Allegra that she will die unless Hamish lives and, just to be certain, he uses a life-transforming magic of his own to bind her to him forever - heart, body and soul!
