The Sinclair Brother Trilogy, Book 2.5 (BONUS Novella) Burke Sinclair and Meredith Sutherland want nothing more than to be married, but ancient clan hostilities tear them apart. When Meredith is forced to marry another to appease her father and secure an alliance, the young lovers think all is lost. Ten long years of a stifling marriage nearly crush Meredith's spirit. But when her unfeeling husband dies and Burke, now a grown man and a hardened warrior, suddenly reappears in her life, the two may get a second chance at first love-if old blood feuds don't rip them apart once and for all.
