♥ When you search for your destiny, only to find it was with you the entire time . . . ♥ Fiery-haired Aila Blogh is the Caledonii chieftain's daughter and the healer for the Scottish Highland village - an untrained healer in her own eyes. When she is unable to save one of her kin from a sickness, she makes up her mind to search out a wisewoman, someone who can train her to be a true healer.
Eian MacLaurin has been in love with Aila since he was a lad. Her skilled training means she must keep him at arm's length, Eian doesn't falter. He remains loyally by her side even as he pines for her. Aila decides to seek out the wise woman, and Eian doesn't hesitate - he meets her at the gate to go with her. Alone on their journey, they find it difficult to keep their passion for each other at bay.
Once they find the wise woman, Ulha teaches Aila about more than just herbs and healing. Aila soon understands the significance of her emotions for Eian and just how deep her own desire for him runs. Their love becomes a fire that consumes them completely.
All that is threatened when the strange man turns on Ulha, and his village thinks she is the cause of the sickness that has taken some of their own. Suddenly Aila's life is a stake. What this other tribe doesn't know is the depth of Eian and Aila's love, or just how far Eian will go to save the woman he loves.
Eian strikes out to retrieve them, willing to let the world burn to rescue Aila.
But the villagers are not what Aila expects. Then the situation takes a deadly turn against Eian and Ulha, and Aila must call on everything she has learned to save them all.
