A beautiful woman desperately seeks freedom for her brother who was wrongly accused of stealing Spanish gold. Raiding the Scottish highways for the documents she needs to prove her brother's innocence, she encounters a dark and dangerous border deputy sworn to arrest her on sight. But love intervenes, and together they search for the real thief....
-----------------------------------
Mhairi Macrae felt danger all around her. Her twin brother Iain had seen a vision of a tall Border rider galloping his dark horse through a storm, calling Mhairi's name. Now Iain had been unjustly arrested, and Mhairi had done the only thing she could: become an outlaw to intercept the messenger bringing his death warrant....
Despite his own notorious past, Border officer Rowan Scott had reformed and pledged to enforce the law. And it was clear that the raven-haired, silvery-eyed girl who attacked him was a thief, a Highlander. Yet what she stole from him that dark night was his heart, leaving him torn between his duty to imprison her and his passion to embrace her. She had thrust him into the secret intrigues of her life, intrigues that could destroy him. But in a way she had also freed him, making him a man ready to take any risk, ready to lay down his life for the woman he loved. For Mhairi.
