Taryn Ingliss has never wanted or needed friends. Betraying family to get whatever she wants...no problem. She has never regretted burning her bridges behind her. Until now. With the stolen MacLachlan dirk in her possession, she journeys to the Isle of Lewis in Scotland in search of answers to the mysteries surrounding Lachlan Baird and her ancestor, Robert Ingliss.What she uncovers leaves her captive of an ancient creature in a subterranean world beneath the Callanish Standing Stones. She knows no one is looking for her. There is no one to rescue her, and no one to blame but herself.Her only other companion in the vast underground chambers is a barbarian called Broc, who has been held prisoner for over two centuries-a man, she comes to realize, she will forsake everything to love, including her life, if necessary.
