Three warriors. Three reckless wishes. One woman who refuses to yield.

Lord Rhodes wished to be the most powerful warrior alive, unbeatable, obeyed, and feared by all. The wish was granted... far too well.

Now, no man dares challenge him. No voice rises against him. His command is law. But the clan grows restless for him to wed, produce heirs, and secure its future.

Tired of the same old refrain, Rhodes silences them with a bold claim... he'll marry the next woman who walks into the great hall.

Enter Fawn.

Fierce, determined, and wholly unimpressed by the laird or his power, she has come to tell him to stop overhunting the forest, that he has livestock aplenty. She says it without a hint of fear and with a black kitten tucked in her arm, the little creature scooting out from beneath a table to claim her as his own.

Rhodes declares, there and then, she will be his wife.

Fawn declares him insane.

But when trouble brews, talk of witches stir, and long-buried secrets rise, Fawn finds herself bound to the very man she swore she'd never wed. And Rhodes, for all his strength, begins to realize that real power isn't in domination... but in winning the trust and love of a woman who will not be tamed.

Because in the Highlands, love is the one battle even the strongest warrior can't win by force.
