Pretty and somewhat wild Lady Sinclair disguised as a boy and the reluctant young Laird Colin are thrown together after they are captured due to the bloody Scottish defeat by the English on the battlefield of Culloden. They escape but Colin is very sick and they hold up in a cave for days waiting for Colin to recuperate. Both have experienced great personal loss which by necessity may change their life paths forever. Love the characters warts and all! Factual historical detail was welcome as was the dialogue between the Scots was a nice touch. Great characters to so far and I enjoy the Scottish accent. So far so good. l also like the true factual research from a historical outwhat happens
