After a tumultuous ten year marriage to a much older man her family bound her to when she was only thirteen, the lady Alison Douglas is finally free from the ties that bound her in her unhappy matrimony. She has two beautiful daughters for doing her time with the Blackadder and now she prays she never has to marry again. So over her dead husband in fact that she burns the bed that belonged to the deceased Laird slept in.
David Hume and his family have been through devastation. His father and brother are executed and his step-mother has been taken hostage. David has now become the new Laird of Wedderburn and he is needs to have his step-mother freed, so her young sons can have their mother back and he wants to exact revenge on the Blackadders, by taking their castle and the widow, Lady Alison. Since taking over his lands and Hume Castle, David has gained quite the reputation for himself as the Beast of Wedderburn, a reputation for which he welcomes if it gains him the fear and all he covets.
Lady Alison is having trouble with her people. They show her no respect since their Laird showed none for her when he was alive, and Alison is at a loss with how to deal with them. When she asks her Douglas brothers for help, they quickly push her needs aside to take care of their own lives, leaving her people on the verge of starvation since her lands are being raided consistently by the Beast of Wedderburn.
After laying siege and capturing Blackadder Castle, the Beast forces the Lady Alison to marry him to use her as a tool to gain all he wants, but when he sees the beauty, he is out of sorts and in for much more than he bargains for. If he thinks that Alison is going to be a meek bride, he has no idea what he is in for.Read more ›

4.5 stars
The first line starts this off with a bang, "Burning her husband's bed was a mistake. Alison could see that now."
Alison was married off very young to a middle aged man who berated her daily, and basically grooming her as she grew up. It's so incredibly creepy and heartbreaking at the same time. By the time we see Alison, we understand why she burned his bed. Because of the way her late husband treated her, he encouraged his staff to treat her just as poorly. The Alison who we meet on page one is a timid mouse of a girl who is trying to find herself again.
Thinking that widowhood will become her, Alison is actually eager to be free for once. Until she realizes what a mistake her little act of rebellion was. All of her warriors left. They were loyal to her husband and didn't respect her, and didn't appreciate her burning of their master's bed.
But what Alison doesn't realize is that she is basically ripe for the picking from any neighboring border laird. with her warriors gone, it's only a matter of time.
Enter David, the new laird of Wedderburn.Both his father and uncle had been betrayed and their heads placed on pikes. Deciding if he becomes the most feared man in the Highlands, his clan won't be vulnerable again, David sets off on reiving cattle and basically owning the Highlands. But the main thing he needs is Alison's castle and lands, and with those, Alison, herself.
David takes the castle, and marries Alison, but he never expects to actually like her.
Alison is trying to stop being the timid little girl she feels like, and act like the strong woman who is related to royalty that she really is. this isn't easy, and for his part, David is as patient as can be.Read more ›

Fast paced and dramatic, as well as emotional. At times brought tears to my eyes. The story is well written with vivid descriptions and engaging, energetic characters. Love from chaos, and hero's who are truly heros is a favorite of mine. As well as heroines who are strong, and face challenges head on and not turn away. I loved the way our hero and heroine came to value each other as lovers as well as companions. A must for any Scottish Historical fan. I truly look forward to the next installment. What an amazing tale of vengeance, courage, boldness, and love. This story has just the right amount of suspense,danger and passion to keep the reader reading, holding their breathe in awe as the characters find their way through turmoil and love. What a delight!

This book is full of suspense! desire! lust !,like i haven't read in some time and i love it! and Fierce fighting! and more. David the Laird of Humm the Devil that comes and goes in fog and no one sees him is what they say about him1 Of course that isn't true but he is fierce and does what he has to do to protect his home,and young brothers! He swears revenge on the ones that beheaded his father and Uncle. and the best way is to capture the Castle of the dead man that did the deed! and his young widow and her daughters. One look at the frail young black haired lady captured his heart! married at 13 years to a man 4 times her age! Remember there is gruesomes fighting but the great story line makes up for everything. i didn't want this book to end and now I can hardly wait for Ms Mallory's next book!
