Blinded in battle, Calum Brodie faces a future he never imagined. Once the clan’s keen-eyed scout, he now lives in shadow, convinced he has nothing left to offer—least of all to Ella Munro, the radiant lass he has long secretly hoped to claim. She deserves an unbroken man, not a warrior half-blind and furious at his own helplessness.

Ella escaped a forced marriage a year ago, and since then her heart has carried only one truth: she trusts Calum above all men. She aches to care for him as he heals, to be the light hecannot yet see. But Calum rejects her help outright, so she takes a desperate risk. Disguised as “Janet,” the healer’s quiet assistant, she tends him in secret, offering the comfort he would never accept from Ella.

When Calum’s bandages come off and her deception is laid bare, the betrayal cuts deep. How can he forgive the woman who made him doubt the very senses he relies on? And why does one stolen kiss from Ella burn hotter than all the reasons for his anger combined?

As desire flares and danger threatens the fragile peace between them, Calum and Ella must face a single, impossible question: Can a love born of lies become the truth that saves them both?
