Highlander’s Devious Ally by Adamina Young

He lost his mother. He will not lose his love. Even if that means trusting an enemy.

Ailith Galloway is not only a stunningly beautiful lass but also intelligent and has a deep compassion for the weak.
Lyall Stevenson is the Laird and a physical specimen of a man! Tall and muscular, he commands respect, and he is kind with the people he loves.
But even the strongest man is in anguish at his mothers death…At her funeral he meets Ailith and even though he is cold to her at first, he soon realizes she has qualities like no other woman he has ever known, besides his late mother maybe.
To his great dismay he learns that she is betrothed to another man! Ailith finds in his eyes a man she can truly trust and partner with, and slowly realizes her future husband is not who she though he was.
Torn between her heart’s command and her duty she faces a torturous dilemma.
She will have plenty of time to think about it as she finds herself in prison with no food or water… To save her, Lyall must do something absurd.
