Description
Fierce Scottish warrior Robert the Bruce would do anything to release his country from English rule—and claim his rightful throne. As enemies on both sides surround him, Robert must dance a dangerous line between truth and duplicity. One misstep could topple his nation and cost him his life, yet one irresistible woman tempts him—and threatens his mission—as no other ever has.
Bold, beautiful Elizabeth de Burgh longs for freedom. So when she finds herself ordered by the King of England to seduce the leader of the Scottish rebellion and reveal his secrets, she yearns to fight back against their cruel plot. Except they’ve threatened to kill her beloved cousin, leaving her no choice but to comply. As she grows closer to the handsome noble Robert and the mask that hides the man who would be king is peeled away, she cannot imagine aiding in his destruction.
Bound by duty and honor but ensnared by uncontainable passion, Robert and Elizabeth must determine if they are each other’s biggest threat or greatest source of strength and how much they are willing to sacrifice for the one thing neither ever imagine they’d find—extraordinary love.

I enjoyed this tale of Robert the Bruce and Elizabeth de Burgh, and how they came together. This was such a gritty, dark time of history, and watching them fall in love through it all was good for my heart. Both were strong characters, doing what they had to, and I wanted to keep turning pages to see how much more they would have to endure before having their HEA. I recommend this story.
I received an ARC of this story as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.
