Fiona must find a brooch she believes will restore her family’s fortunes back in ravaged Scotland. Her search takes her to North Carolina, but instead of finding the heirloom, she finds herself tied to a whipping post, accused of being a runaway indentured servant. Owain Apking, the son of a local printer comes to her rescue, and his family takes her in, providing for her needs. Yet odd occurrences in the middle of the night give Fiona reason not to trust the kind family, especially Owain, the charming Welshman who steals her heart.
In an effort to make more money, Owain’s secret activities endanger his family and especially Fiona, the woman, whom against all his efforts, he has fallen in love with. Yet he cannot stop on his mission. He has made a commitment. Now he must discover who threatens them all before the threats become actions and the lives of those he loves are in deadly peril.
