When the ruthless MacTiers destroyed Melantha's clan, she vowed to do whatever was necessary to keep her people alive.

Roarke had known only battle for far too long.

Torn between fealty to his lord and the dictates of his conscience, Roarke would look for an answer in the emerald eyes of a woman who dared to show him the meaning of honor, the bonds of family--and the power of love.
