Magnus MacKay is the ultimate Highlander tough proud able to master any terrain and to best his enemies Called the Saint for his refusal to discuss women as well as for his cool and steady leadership Magnus hides a painful truth It isnt virtue or piety that keeps him silent but a wound of love and loss that cuts so deep he cannot bear to speak of it But when the woman who refused him is betrothed to his friend and fellow Guardsman Magnus is tested by loves battle cry A wild and innocent beauty Helen chose family duty over her desire for Magnus Now the anger in his eyes mirrors the tormented regret in her heart But as deadly subterfuge stalks the King and his Guard Helen vows to right her youthful mistakes with a womans determined spirit Still Magnus harbors secrets and an iron will not to weaken to temptationmdashor heartachemdashagain But as danger looms its the kiss not of a saint but of a sinner that can save them.
