She convinces her brother’s best friend to help her stop a war. But will they provoke one instead?Kyla Grant once believed her sire, the legendary Alexander Grant, was invincible, but his brush with death changed her mind. The whole clan is still reeling from Alex’s battle injury when a new threat arises from their long-time rivals, the Buchan clan. Kyla, convinced that the Grants cannot take … cannot take another battle, is desperate for a peaceful resolution. Her plan is to make a personal appeal to the Buchan’s only living child, Davina, but she knows her parents would never allow her to risk her safety…
Finlay MacNicol is always quick with a joke, but life has never given him less to laugh about. His mother is dying, and yet another battle is on the horizon. When his laird assembles a group of warriors for a scouting mission to the Buchans, Finlay does his duty and joins them. He thought he knew what to expect from the mission, but he certainly didn’t expect that Kyla would sneak along, or that his laird would assign him as her protector. Kyla’s beauty has always affected Finlay, but her bravery and sweetness soon stir deeper feelings.
After visiting Davina, Kyla becomes determined to rescue the lass from the clutches of her abusive sire. Finlay agrees to help her, but there’s a risk they may provoke a war rather than prevent one.

I have loved the Clan Grant series and always thought that Alex and Maddie’s story was the best, this one may have just become #1. Once you start reading, you can’t put it down.
I loved it
Opening was not engaging but I continued to read. Characters were weak without any depth. Once detailed sex began, I gave it up.
This was such a wonderful and exciting story to read, I had a hard time putting the book down! Kyla is the type of heroine I love, strong, stubborn and wanting only to do what is right to help her clan, even though all might not go according to plan!! I thought the story very well written with some twists and turns that caught me by surprise. Never a dull moment in the lives of the Grant and Ramsay clans!
With Kyla being determined to help her clan and prevent a war, Finlay agrees to help her as her protector and even though there’s danger all around them, a romance blossoms between them. If they can survive what they go through, they certainly do deserve a HEA!!
Loved their story and looking forward to reading the other books in this series. Keira Montclair is quickly becoming a “must read” author!!
Another great series. I was given this book as a complemary book. It was awesome. Alex is my favorite and to see in my mind he’s not the warrior he once was is heartbreaking, but he did what he set out to do. And Kyla and Finlay’s story was fraut with danger, but again love conquers all. I have a good idea who the next book will be about, beachum is still out there and has his sights on his next target. Great read Keira.
I enjoy reading about the highland lads and lassies of the Grant family .. and their band of Scotish warriors … like attending a fantasy family reunion…
Loved this book!
Interesting premise, but in the time period of the story, it is a little hard to believe. Women were consigned to a lesser status in that society.
The Grants and their allies have had a rough year and it looks like war is on the horizon once again. Hoping to stave off another battle, The Grant’s eldest daughter is convinced she must reach out to Davina Buchan . . . the daughter of their clan’s enemy. Slipping away to join with a scouting party, Kyla finds herself included in the mission as long as she keeps her brother’s second, Finlay MacNicol with her at all times as her protector.
When Finlay MacNicol finds himself assigned as Kyla’s protector, he begins to see her in a different light. While he has known her since they were children, he is finally seeing her as a brave and determined young woman with one of the biggest hearts in all the Highlands. Their attraction to one another is immediate, however, Finlay does not feel he is worthy of marrying the Great Alexander Grant’s daughter.
When the scouting mission turns sour and The Grants are thrown off Buchan land, Kyla is determined to save Davina from her abusive father no matter the cost while also trying to avoid a war between their clans. When she convinces Finlay to assist, their lives become intertwined forever and it will be up to the Grants and all their allies to return peace to their beloved Highlands.
This installment of Keira Montclair’s Highland Clan series was a true celebration of all the characters readers have come to know and love throughout the Clan Grant Books as well as this series. When Kyla finds herself in danger, all the clans (Grants, Ramsays, Drummonds, and Camerons) join to not only save her, but rid the land of the enemies that have been attempting to destroy their peace once and for all.
I loved Kyla’s character. She was a wonderful mix of intelligence and caring thrown in with bravery. She knew what she had to do to protect the one’s she loved even if it cost her. Finlay was a great match to Kyla. Quick to laughter and humor, he is also a great warrior and protector. His personal struggles show readers depth to his personality and add a unique twist to the story that really adds to the plot.
As always, it is a joy to see how our favorite characters are faring . . . especially when the clan gathers together for times of trouble as well as in times of celebration. I think that is one of the reasons I truly love Keira’s books . . . these characters really feel like family. And, while we have been reading about the same clans for two generations, each tale is a unique story to that couple and always feels fresh and exciting.
Kyla receives 5 stars as I impatiently await Bethia Ramsay’s story!
Loved this book for Kyla and Finlay’s story, but to read about Alex again and the troubles he has was hard to take. I was so happy to see all the clans come together for the greatest Laird in all the Highlands. (less)
Series continues about pioneer life.
