About this listen

Set in treacherous sixteenth-century Scotland, the first volume of Amanda Scott’s Border Trilogy tells the unforgettable story of a woman sworn to defy the knight she is forced to wed - only to discover a love she’ll do anything to claim.

As Mary, Queen of Scots, languishes in the Tower of London as a prisoner of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth, war tears Scotland apart. To save her beloved homeland, a proud Highland beauty named Mary Kate MacPherson must wage her own battle when she’s forced into wedlock with a knight, Sir Adam Douglas, from the barbaric borderland of Tornary.

Even as she succumbs to her seductive husband’s sensual demands, Mary Kate vows never to give him her heart. She will belong to no man. But Adam burns with something deeper than desire. Sworn to carry out a long-awaited revenge, he won’t rest until he has vanquished his enemies. Accused of treason, the last thing he expects is to lose his heart to the woman he’s determined to tame but never to love: His own wife.

well read and well written.. but OMG, what awful characters.. I know that mysogyny was normal behaviour at that time, but these men were good awful. I won't be listening to the rest of this series as I just cannot abide any more of Adams personality 👎

I wouldn't recommend this book for people with anxiety and depression like myself. Lost sleep and had strong anxiety over the book. The author writes very well to pull emotions like that out of a reader. The beginning up to their honeymoon was great then there emotional, sexual and verbal abuse towards the lady from her husband until the end when they confess they have love for eachother!?? Its not a romance, the other books in the trilogy are much more pleasant and romantic reads.

Fairly dark book
