Love's Ransom

17th century Scotland.

A young Border Reiver is preparing to raid a town along the Anglo-Scottish border.

But after he is deceived by his band of raiders, he is wounded and left to pay the penalty for his trespassing - death by hanging.

Upon receiving the news of her brother's harrowing fate, Isabella battles the Scottish elements in a race against time to offer up her own life to William Douglas, a man renowned for his ruthlessness, as a ransom for her brother’s.

Captivated by Isabella’s courage and beauty, William Douglas excuses both Isabella and her brother’s execution, but at the cost of her freedom…

He orders her to be wed to his weakling son, Henry - a marriage which disgusts her.

But for the sake of her beloved brother’s life she has no choice.

Isabella must come to terms with her life of imprisonment at Moyenstane Castle.

Can she grow to love her husband?

Or will someone else rescue her from her fate?
