Marti Talbott

Beloved Ruins, Book 1 Marti Talbott

Beneath a burned castle in Scotland lay a trove of lost family stories. An ancient MacGreagor edict held that the clan give sanctuary to any lass who believed herself in danger, so when Grizel Allardice claimed her father meant to kill her, she too was granted safety. However, Grizel was not who she claimed to be. Instead, she was the spoiled and rebellious daughter of a much feared northern laird, who offered a very tempting reward to anyone who could find her and bring her home.
