Like her new mistress, Ada is as strong and stubborn as a Highland lass could be. When enemies from the past threaten her son’s safety trouble ensues as she attempts to deal with the threat on her own.

Haunted by his past and the guilt he carries, Miles is forced to hide his feelings for years. Until the day he follows his lass into trouble. Fear forces him to realize that it’s long past time to show the vexing hellcat what she truly means to him.

Note: This novelette is not meant as a standalone story. It is a short, 10,000 word misadventure between two side characters in the MacKay Series. Miles and Ada’s tale takes place during the same time line as Book Three.
