Mary Queen of Scots is on the throne, and the frontier between England and Scotland is a powder-keg. A feisty English heiress... More interested in raiding into Scotland with the rest of her clan than womanly pursuits like embroidery or finding a husband, Alexandra Graham is a strong-minded English heiress who rides and fights as well as any man. But when a daring rescue goes wrong, she ends up in the dungeons of Scotland's most forbidding castle, prisoner of the notorious Earl of Bothwell and at the mercy of the queen's justice. A brawny Scottish laird... As deputy warden responsible for keeping the law on the queen's borderland, Michael Cranstoun is a Scottish laird with a reputation for fair-mindedness and the looks of a viking warrior. But when he meets the beguiling Alexandra, both his life and his honour are at risk - not to mention his affections. A love divided... With more than just the border separating them, Alex and Michael are on opposite sides of an ancient divide, and destined for different paths.
