Wow, I loved this story! From the very first page I knew it was going to have a lot of emotions in it. Lord Kaiden wants peace from the fighting with Clan McEwan. He is willing to go so far as to marry the daughter of his enemy to get it. Only Laird McEwan doesn’t play fair, offering his bastard granddaughter instead of one of his daughter's! Thinking about ending the treaty before it even begins. Only Kaiden accepts Evelyn as he sees something in her that he admires her strength. Also, he sees the look in her eyes of sadness and fear which is wrong for one so beautiful. This story is about so much more than just our couple marrying. It is about clans, and evil and what it does to others. Both Kaiden and Evelyn have a lot to work through. He has never known how badly others can treat someone who is family till he meets her. She has been raised as less than a servant or prisoner. She is innocent and very naive, mistrusting any kindness shown to her. All she knows of Kaiden, and his people is what her rotten half-brother has filled her head with. None of it seems to fit the man she is married too. I love the begging part of the story, smiled every time it came up!!! Don’t wait, rush and get your copy, your favorite drink, and get started. You will not be able to put it down... I know I will be rereading this one again. It's a keeper for sure. I received an ARC from the author and wish to thank her. This is my honest opinion and am freely giving it.
