When her father arranges her betrothal to Laird Kenrik Maclean, she cannot bear the thought of such a constrained life—especially now that she has fallen in love with a brave and dashing King’s spy! She pleads with her sister Crissa to take her place in the nuptials, pretending to be Owena. After all, she says, nobody will care if Crissa, a widow, decides to marry one of the King’s men! Crissa finally gives in, and Owena takes her name and slips away to marry her spy, breathlessly anticipating a life of adventure. Barely two months into her marriage, she realizes that her husband is not the man she thought. Her hopes and dreams have turned to ashes. But Owena was never the kind of lass to sit back and accept what life throws at her, so she decides to follow her husband when he sets off on a mission. She will either reform him, she vows, or leave him and find the kind of life she wants! Before the sun has set on the first day, Owena finds herself in a great deal of trouble. Who is this hard-eyed man who has been following both Owena and her husband? And what does he have in mind for Owena? Owena discovers that it is far from easy to navigate the treacherous waters inhabited by spies and traitors, all the while remembering that she is supposed to be her sister Crissa!
