But Haley’s beauty and courage strike a chord in the Highlander, awakening a desire in him that he hadn't known existed.At first Haley’s frightened by her imposing captor. But she soon discovers that MacColla is much more than the brute that modern history describes, and decides she’s meant to be by his side. But unless she can find a way to change the past, the warrior she’s fallen for is destined to meet a tragic end...
