Synopsis: Juliana D’Aubenville was minding her own business when a great oaf of a man charged her and tackled her to the ground. She realised later that he’d probably saved her life by keeping her hidden from the brutal massacre he’d escaped but that did not mean he could kidnap her and force her to live in ‘safety’ on his land. It was unfortunate he and his men were as sharp as she as each attempt at escape was met with failure. In truth what was she running to? The only person who had evidence of her true identity had died with the other villagers. However what was she to do in her new home where her captor was engaged to marry someone else and her accent could slip at any moment and the highlanders would all know from where she truly came.
Rating: 3/5
Comment: The Laird was too soft hearted to his evil uncle so it was no surprising he tried to seduce Juliana to spite him. A witch on the scene spiced up the story and the struggle the Laird had between his duty to his people and his heart. He actually proposed Juliana marry his best friend!
