When Sir Philip Kilpatrick is sent to fetch the beautiful Isobel MacDonell out of hiding in England and deliver her to her noble betrothed in the Highlands, he expects the duty to be executed quickly. But Scotland is in the grip of a nationwide witchhunt and Isobel's father neglected to inform him that Isobel happens to be a witch.
Isobel possesses the gift of second sight—but she has been forced to hide her magic and practice in secret. Though she fears that Philip will discover the truth about her, she longs to help him uncover the secret that has tortured him for more than a decade.
Through the perils of their journey, they are forced to deny the passion that flares between them. As the days pass, Philip finds himself more and more reluctant to hand Isobel over to her betrothed, fearing for her safety under anyone else’s protection. Isobel has charmed her way into his heart, but her determination to use her magic to solve the mystery of Philip’s past could destroy them both.
