Forgoing honor leads to more than Kendrick MacCallum bargained for. Will rescuing a precious cargo result in his demise?
Forced to make the difficult choice between his respectable life as a Highland laird and one of piracy, danger, and deception, Kendrick MacCallum soon learns he is in for a lot more trouble than he bargained for.
In his valiant attempt to honor the promises made to his father and save his clan, he discovers a precious cargo he is compelled to rescue, leaving him with the ultimate decision between vindication and his heart. To accomplish his tasks, he must forego the code of honor by which he was raised while confronting his personal demons, and a ruthless enemy determined to destroy him.
