About this ebook

She needs a husband to secure her lands and her child’s legacy, even if she has to drag one from prison…


Isobel Seton is about to lose everything unless she can convince a man to marry her. Twice widowed, no man in Haddington will say “I do”—until she finds a handsome stranger locked up in the village pillory. She offers to free him in exchange for marriage. He agrees, but with rules: no questions about his past and the marriage will only last two months—not a day longer.


Alexander Godric Ross—one of King James VI’s top soldiers—is undercover and on a mission. He’s to infiltrate a network of spies he believes are helping the king’s nemesis, Lord Bothwell. Aiding Isobel Seton is exactly the cover story he needs. Yet, as the nights pass, Alexander finds himself losing his will, falling for his wife and succumbing to a passionate love affair.


When a mysterious fire destroys her crops and Isobel is arrested for witchcraft, Alexander finds himself facing his most cunning enemy yet as he sets out to save his wife.

TBH, had I known there was to be a gory, sadistic, torture scene from the witch trial I would not have chosen to read the book. Historical accuracy has its limits and detailed graphic descriptions of torture, common as torture was and sadly still is in this so-called "modern" world, is one such limit for me. That the very witch trial mechanism was itself vanquished by the end of the book, albeit almost too easily for comfort, did go some way to make up for the torture scene though not entirely, so I could only afford it 4 stars for an otherwise enjoyable read. The forgiveness of the villain Graham was also a little too easily come by but generally, otherwise, a good historical fiction with great historical detail.
