Twenty years after Culloden, Alex MacKcnzie finds a young English girl, Jenna Winslow, shivering and starving in one of the mouldering crofts on his newly acquired estates. When he discovers that she is the daughter of the man who so humiliated the arrogant Highlander's family after the battle, Alex’s desire for revenge is fierce. He takes her as his mistress — to humiliate at leisure — and what can the once-proud girl do but submit? In a savage Scottish world where people hate her very name, how can Jenna lose the hateful title of ‘MacKenzie’s Woman’ when Alex is both her very livelihood and her only protection?

Just after the Stuart uprising in 1745, with feelings at fever pitch between the Scots and the English, Anstey Frazer is taken prisoner by a troop of Redcoats. Accused of murdering one of their colleagues, she faces a journey fraught with danger from her beloved Highlands to London. Her captor, the arrogant Captain James Ward, appears to hate her far more than a Redcoat should hate a Jacobite lass. And can fate really be so cruel as to make the loathsome Captain attractive to Anstey, when she is totally at his mercy? Tension between captor and prisoner grows as the journey continues south — to the sombre Tower of London.
