Lady Adela MacLeod has not had the best of luck at the altar – she was abducted from her first marriage, and now her husband, Ardelve, has died one hour after their marriage. Having fled to the castle roof to avoid the prying tongues, she hears the voice of a man who offers her comfort. While she doesn’t know who he is, she is drawn to him.

Sir Robert Logan, Knight Templar, left his family years ago after a fight. His family is now dead but he carries a secret that might lead to treasure. When Adela is accused of murdering her husband, Robert offers to protect her and to provide her with sanctuary. Together they must find the treasure and to keep it out of the hands of those who plan to misuse it for their personal gain and who plan to harm Adela.
