The Laird's Vow

In medieval Scotland, the illegitimate children of a notorious criminal vie to claim their birthrights, and find that love is an even greater prize...

And only by uniting can they evade the traps set for them both...Before writing historical romance, Heather Grothaus worked as a successful freelance journalist, short story writer and magazine writer.
