The Saint: A Highland Guard Novel

Dubbed "Saint" by his Highland Guard brethren, Magnus MacKay is tough, resourceful, and levelheaded--all skills that will prove invaluable in Bruce's "pirate" war against the English, launched from the rugged and unforgiving terrain of wild Scotland. But hidden beneath his cool exterior are hurt, anger, and the foolish devotion to a woman who can never be his.
Helen de Moray is ill prepared to withstand the firestorm of opposition by her family to a marriage with a despised MacKay. Faced with the prospect of a clandestine marriage and losing her family, Helen refuses Magnus' proposal. And by the time she realizes the depth of her emotions for him, it's too late. Magnus is gone, and her father has betrothed her to another man. When tragedy strikes, forcing Magnus back into her life, Helen knows that guilt and pride are every bit as formidable an obstacle between them as clan rivalries. With enemy forces closing in for the kill, Helen must fight to win back his heart before it's too late.
