On the lawless border between England and Scotland, the Reiver Clans hold dominion. Loyal only unto themselves, their reign of raiding and thievery at last comes to an end with the birth of a new nation--the unified kingdom of Great Britain. Ousted from her lands and left adrift, the beautiful daughter of a prominent Reiver clan leader is soon forced into marriage with an unknown and distant Highland cousin. Lilith can only hope her new home will bring her comfort and safety. But old habits die hard, as do bitter family feuds. When a vengeful member of a rival clan vows to take Lilith's head as the final triumph in a century-old vendetta, she is stolen from the altar by a rogue-for-hire Highlander and his rugged crew. What devil-may-care mercenary Duncan Mackenzie doesn't know is that kidnapping Lilith is only the beginning of the job. When he is tasked with ending the raven-haired beauty's life, his livelihood and morals are both put to the test...but the one thing most in danger is his heart. Lilith is the first book in a historical romance series set in the 17th century along the Anglo-Scottish border.
