Neave Munro prides herself on her ability to solve other people’s problems. After helping her elder sister and husband reconcile, she decides to assist a friend in need as well. Only, he seems reluctant to accept her help.

John Mackay lost an eye and his right hand in battle years earlier. Despite that he is still a warrior of renown, he believes no woman will want a ‘maimed’ husband. He watches a chieftain’s beautiful daughter from afar, but has no intention of ever approaching her—until Neave, a lady who has become a good friend, comes up with a plan. But the path to true love is never smooth, and Neave’s task turns out to be more difficult than she expects. And when an unwanted suitor starts to stalk her, Neave must turn to John for help. Suddenly the lines between friendship and love become blurred. Has Neave, in her quest to help John find love, ruined her own chance at happiness?
