USA Today bestselling author Eliza Knight takes you into the heart of the Highlands, where these warriors are prepared to give up everything in the fight for their country.
Annie MacPherson's world was torn apart when her family's castle was ravaged during the war. Determined to aid her countrymen, she braves the battlefield and finds gravely wounded Lieutenant Craig MacLean. Soon her heart belongs to the fierce warrior.
As the English dragoons draw closer to Annie's makeshift hospital, Craig knows they have to escape together if they'll have any chance to survive. But when they come face-to-face with the enemy and Craig is imprisoned, Annie will have to risk everything she has to save the man she can't live without.
History and adventure come to life in Eliza Knight's thrilling Scottish Highland romance. Annie is based loosely on Anne MacKay, Anne Leith, and Lady Maxwell, who risked their lives to protect Jacobite soldiers by hiding them, healing their wounds, and helping them escape from enemy forces.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Knight's action-packed second Prince Charlie's Angels romance (after The Rebel Wears Plaid) highlights an admirable heroine who regularly puts herself in danger to heal others. In 1746 Scotland, Annie MacPhearson and her family dedicate their lives to retaking their homeland from the English. Annie becomes a healer, while her older brother, Graham, fights in the Jacobite rebellion. Despite a rocky first impression, Annie soon becomes enamored of Lt. Craig MacLean, a fierce warrior and Graham's closest friend and he finds Annie equally bewitching. After a devastating loss for the Jacobites, Annie rushes to help heal the wounded and finds Graham dead and Craig badly injured. She takes Craig and the few other survivors into her care, working both to heal them and to hide them from the British dragoons who hunt them. Annie and Craig's fear of being caught is palpable, and Knight keeps the stakes high without ever losing track of the sweet and steamy romance. Fans will be impressed by how gracefully Knight builds on the setting and politics of the first installment, and new readers will have no problem jumping in.
