Overflowing with all of the majesty and intrigue of medieval glory days, this magnificent New York Times bestseller is a page-turner of passion and loyalty, justice and honor. Beloved storyteller Julie Garwood steps back to the silver-shrouded Highlands of her classic tale The Secret — and hails the return of two unforgettable warriors: Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan.In the dark days after … after the death of Richard the Lionhearted, lives and lands would fall into upheaval at the hands of a power-hungry British ruler and his violent minions. One victim of the scourge is innocent Gillian, who is a mere child when the cruel and ambitious Baron Alford slaughters her father and tears her family apart. Alford, determined to recover a jeweled box for the despotic King John, is furious when the precious treasure slips through his fingers — only to be lost for more than a decade.Now a beautiful young woman, Gillian finds the key to resolving her past in handsome Scottish chieftains Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan. With the cunning and courage of the daring Scotsmen, and with the friendship of a new ally, Bridgid KirkConnell, Gillian at last fights the unscrupulous Baron Alford, laying claim to her home, her family, and her father’s reputation. But in the presence of the mighty warrors, Gillian and Bridgid discover that desire can be a weapon of conquest…betrayal can slay trust in a heartbeat…and the greatest risk of all is surrender — to the deep emotions of unexpected love.

I love historical romance, and Julie Garwood writes some of the best! This is a page-turner, and I’ve read it so many times the pages are falling out. I love Brodick and Gillian. Talk about a swoon-worthy, Alpha hero who’s a little rough around the edges. Perfection!
I just love this story. The spiritedness of the heroine & the protectiveness of the hero just gets to me.
Historical romance at its best!
This is one of my all-time favorite books set in this time period. I’ve read it both in print and listened to it on audio…love, love, love it!
One of the best authors especially her earlier work with undying love through every obstacle and passion for one another that would go beyond the book
I always love a strong female character and this book has some great examples. Definitely recommend.

I read a lot of books, over eight hundred in the last seven and Julie Garwood is one of my four favorites. I love her books, but this book really touched me, so much of what
Gillian has gone through is reflected in my own life, but I have not found my Brodick yet. I have red it at least ten times, it is a great book and I would recommend it …
I’m a sucker for a Laird and a sassy English lady! This tale has both!! I love Broderick and Gillian and have reread this story many times. It’s just as good and swoon-worthy on the 50th reading!
