She enchanted him with a kiss—but winning her love would demand all he possessed.
Disheartened by the challenge of a crumbling legacy, Malcolm left Scotland to earn his fortune as a mercenary. Eight years later, scarred by the realities of war, he returns with a fortune won at too high of a price and a companion even more hardened than he. Lured into the caverns beneath the keep, Malcolm trades his own soul for that of the companion who once saved his life, condemning himself to die in one year. Determined to leave a legacy of merit, Malcolm begins to rebuild the keep of Ravensmuir with all haste—though he has no heir.
After one night’s abuse, Catriona has no faith in the goodness of warriors. In the service of Lady Vivienne, she dreads an unexpected visit to the lady’s brother at Ravensmuir, for he is said to be a mercenary. But Malcolm challenges her expectations with his courtesy, his allure, his determination to save her child—and his unexpected proposal. Knowing it will ensure her child’s safety, Catriona dares to accept Malcolm’s hand. She soon realizes that this stalwart warrior fights a battle of his own, and that she holds the key to saving his soul. But as she descends into the ruins of old Ravensmuir in search of the truth, her own past is in hot pursuit, seeking to destroy all she holds dear—including the knight who has laid claim to her reluctant heart.

After years as a mercenary soldier Malcolm Lammergeier has come home to take his place as the Laird of Ravensmuir. Something happens on that first night that will force him to rebuild the collapsed keep as quickly as possible. His family live nearby but disapprove of how he earned the wealth he brought home.
Catriona is serving in the household of a wonderful family. When the lady of the house sees Ravensmuir is being rebuilt, she insists on visiting her brother.
The keep has a reputation with the locals for lots of strange happenings . The Fae are believed to live there, and interfere with the lives of the humans they encounter.
This is such a great story with fabulous characters. There are battles, both real and magical. Lots of intrigue and danger. Our heroine is a remarkably brave young woman to even survive as far as she has. That is what draws the interest of our lovely hero.
It is part of a series, but you don't need to have read the previous ones to enjoy this. However if you intend to read the series it's best read in order or you will find spoilers. I love all of them.
