As her father lies on his deathbed, Dallas Cameron joins the crowd
gathered at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh to witness the triumphant
entrance of Mary Stuart into Scotland in 1561. On Dallas' way home,
she is rescued from a group of lecherous ruffians by a dashing
stranger. Iain Fraser escorts her home where Dallas' mortally ill
father recognizes her savior's name and tells him a secret he has
never shared with anyone-the identity of Iain's father. Donald
Cameron's death leaves Dallas and her two sisters destitute. She
tries to earn money by selling meat pies and family heirlooms, but
her efforts are in vain. Taking pity on the poor lassie, Iain
spares her further humiliation by giving her a loan. Later, she
accidentally stumbles across his ship hidden in a cave and
discovers that not only is Iain one of Queen Mary's favorite
courtiers, but he's also a pirate. To ensure her silence, Iain
agrees to marry her, but love isn't part of their strange bargain.
She gains respectability and security while he moves on to enjoy
his freedom. Iain's dedication to Scotland and the Queen often
takes him away from his wife, whose loyalty wavers during times of
loneliness. As Dallas' passion is awakened, she realizes that the
only man she really loves is her lawful husband. But before they
can attempt to heal the emotional wounds they have inflicted on
each other, they must first find a way to survive the political and
religious turmoil plaguing the dangerous court of Mary, Queen of
Scots. First published in 1983 as Love's Pirate.
