Captive to a Dream

In the continuing saga surrounding the MacAmlaid clan, Dara and Lachlan’s daughter Rhea grows up to be the spitting image of her mother—high-spirited and beautiful. Roaming the Highland mountains, heedless of the dangers, Rhea meets Gavin and they become friends, to both of their parents’ chagrin.

Gavin is the bastard son of Leslie MacAmlaid, Lachlan’s cousin, who is hell bent on getting what he perceives is his—Castle Gallhiel—even if that means revenge killing Lachlan to achieve his goal. As part of his long-sought quest to become the next Lord of Gallhiel, he works tirelessly to build a reputation, acquiring wealth and status among the royal court. Years later he encounters Rhea again as a refined lady, and the attraction is immediate. As they fall in love, he realizes his quest will be much harder than he could have ever imagined. What will he choose—to avenge his parents’ deaths and claim Castle Gallhiel by killing Rhea’s father or will he choose love?
