In 1401 Scotland, Lady Catriona Mackintosh is hunting with her dog when she comes across a wounded warrior, Fin of the Battles. She takes him home, suspecting he was attacked by Rory Comyn, a treacherous neighbor who is pressing her for marriage. Her grandfather, the Mackintosh, recognizes Fin as the sworn man of the wild prince Rothesay. Unfortunately, Comyn favors the prince's rival, the manipulative Albany, and soon Fin's loyalties, his problematical friendship with Catriona's fiery brother, and troubled Highland politics lead to Fin and Cat undertaking a dangerous quest. Scott (Border Lass) is clearly familiar with Scotland's history, and she deftly handles period dialogue and attitudes with only a few slips. Great with sensual scenes, Scott escapes the cliché of a masterful male taming a "wildcat" woman; instead, Fin and Catriona learn to communicate and compromise in this solid romantic adventure.

When independent, fiercely loyal Catriona Mackintosh finds a wounded man on her clan's land and brings him home to heal, she is surprised to learn that he was on his way to talk with the leader of Clan Chattan, her grandfather. What she doesn't know is that "Fin of the Battles" swore an oath four years earlier to avenge the death of his father by killing the Clan Chattan war leader, Catriona's father. A conflicted hero, a fearless heroine, a tricky political situation, and irresistible love propel this adventure to a surprising, most rewarding conclusion, with all the flair one has come to expect from a literary "Highland Master" like Scott. VERDICT Once again, Scott's deep knowledge of Scottish history combines with her strong, superbly rendered characters, intricate plotting, and passionate motivations in a riveting tale of love, loyalty, courage, and revenge to add another colorful thread to her vivid medieval-romance tapestry; the first in a new series. Scott (Tempted by a Warrior) lives in Folsom, CA.
