A sweeping novel of sensuous passion set in the Highlands.
After years of war, Gregor Grant returns to his beloved Highland home, Glen Dhu (Black Glen), only to find that his father has lost the family estate. It now belongs to the enchanting Meg - Lady Margaret Mackintosh - who has no intention of giving it up. Hurt by his father's betrayal, Gregor leaves, vowing never to return.
Years later, Meg finds herself in need of help. Her neighbour is trying to force marriage to unite their lands, and there are rumours that his last wife mysteriously disappeared. Gregor, now a soldier in the Campbell regiment, is the only person who can help her, but first, she must make him an offer he will not refuse.
