their father died did she see the real Donald, the man he kept hidden all those years. In his eyes, she saw that he would say anything, do anything to get what he wanted. Nothing and no one would stand in his way.
    For the first time in her life, she truly feared Donald.
    Donald got to his feet, his gaze never wavering from her. “Why did you have to do something so stupid?”
    “It’s done, Donald,” Alistair said. “Leave it alone.”
    “I doona take orders from you,” Donald said, briefly looking at Alistair. “Anyone who isna with me is against me. And our little sister just proved she was against me.”
    Alistair took Innes’s hand and tugged her away. “Get to the castle.”
    She didn’t want to leave her brothers. One of them was going to die that day, and she feared it just might be Alistair.
    Innes turned to start running back to the castle when Alistair shouted her name. Out of the corner of her eye there was a blur of movement and then a grunt.
    She slid to a stop and looked back to find that her warrior had effortlessly flipped Donald over onto his back. The warrior had his knee in Donald’s neck and a dagger pointed between two ribs.
    She met the warrior’s gaze and marveled at eyes that were as blue as the sky. They stared at each other for long, silent moments until Donald began to struggle.  
    The warrior slammed a fist into Donald’s jaw and knocked him unconscious.

    He couldn’t believe his luck when he heard the woman’s voice. The rabbit he was hunting quickly forgotten, he followed the voices that led him to the cave. The woman wasn’t alone though. Two men were with her, and by their looks, they were related.
    Not wanting to be cornered in the cave, he decided to wait for their return. It didn’t take them long. The first to exit was the burly man with the short hair and bushy beard. It wasn’t long before the second man and the woman followed.
    He followed them until they found the first man again. He’d known before anyone spoke that the bearded one was going to attack. At first he thought the man’s assault might be against the other man, but when he realized his focus was on the woman, he refused to sit by and let it happen.
    The moment the bearded man went after the woman, he jumped from his hiding place and took him down. He ignored the second man, his eyes locked on the dark-haired beauty with her olive skin and black eyes.
    There was something about her coloring that triggered an emotion inside him. He felt as if he was supposed to be wary of it, but for the life of him, he couldn’t remember why.
    He had no idea how long he and the burly man stared at each other before he finally had to knock the man out.  
    “Daman.”
    He jerked his head to the other man, a frown forming. Was that his name? How did he not know his own name?  
    “I’m Alistair,” the man said. “Laird of the MacKays, and the man you took down is my brother, Donald. Thank you for that. I wouldna have gotten to Innes quick enough.”
    Innes. He found his gaze back on her.  
    Alistair cleared his throat. “I’m sure you have questions, Daman. Let’s get back to the castle first.”
    He looked down at the man he had knocked out and slowly got to his feet. Innes had woken him, and Donald had been about to kill her because of it. Daman couldn’t believe a brother would do that to a sister.
    Daman could feel her closeness. He ached for her touch, but somehow he managed to keep his hands off her.  
    “Daman,” she whispered. “I never knew your name.”
    He looked at her, drowning in the dark depths of her eyes. She was exquisite. Her black hair was thick and straight, the silky length hanging down her back. How he wanted to run his hands through it and have the strands drape around him as she leaned over him.
    Daman took in her oval face, the clear complexion. Her lips were full and parted. Her eyes were wide and turned up seductively at the corners, giving her an exotic look.
