Coll MacGregor, eldest son of the MacGregor clan laird, returns from Paris with his closest friend Brigham Langston, earl Ashburn, an English nobleman. Coll and Brigham are Jacobites, as is the MacGregor family, who are willing to risk all to put their Stuart King back on the throne of Scotland and England. The two men travel together to Scotland to meet and gather the clans in preparation for the arrival of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and war.

When they reach the MacGregor home in the Highlands, Brigham is prepared to meet Coll\'s family, but he is taken totally unaware by the beautiful, vibrant, hot tempered Serena MacGregor, Coll\'s eldest sister. Sparks fly and tempers flare, as Serena makes her views known about all Englishmen, and Brig, the \'Sassenach,\' in particular. As war plans are fleshed out, Brig and Serena fall in lust and then in love. The characters are wonderful and the mixture of humor and intensity, with the historical background, make for a winning combination.
