He's a Highland mercenary. She's the noblewoman he abandoned. Can the child he never knew about and the woman he never forgot save him from a dark fate this Christmas? The Scottish Highlands, 1308. Infamous mercenary Hamish Dunn betrayed a powerful clan leader and is now pursued by killers almost as ruthless as himself. After a deadly duel, a Highland faerie convinces him to travel to Carlisle for a job that will provide enough gold to escape and live in peace. Deidre Maxwell has a dangerous secret. She's not a widow but a disowned noblewoman with an illegitimate daughter. After being cast aside by Hamish nine years ago, she'll never let herself or her daughter, Maeve, be hurt again. When Hamish visits the warden of the West English March, he finds more than the job he's looking for. He finds the love of his life working as a wet nurse. How did she fall to this fate? And will she ever forgive him when she learns he has been hired to kill her father? A Christmas romance and a child's love could heal their wounded hearts and give Hamish and Deidre the family they both crave-if they can beat the corrupt warden at his own game.
