Without a penny or a relative to her name, she has sworn never rely on others, much less look for a hero. But she can' t resist Barclay' s offer of a position as tutor to his nephew. In fact, despite her distrustful nature, it' s hard to resist Barclay. Soon, with their attraction growing, and a mysterious man still following her, the two embark on a journey into the southern uplands of Scotland-and into the heart of a great love neither expected.
