From RT:
After the horrific massacre at Culloden, Rory Forbes is a different man, As the Marquis of Braemoor, he is loyal to the English; so loyal that he takes a Jacobite wife in an arranged marriage to ensure his place as a supporter of the king.
Bethia MacDonell finds her foppish husband a disgrace. She knows she is only a pawn in the political game between England and the remaining Scots. But she can play at games as well; for she will do whatever she must to secure her brothers freedom from English imprisonment.
Her hope lies with the man known as The Black Knave; a daring rogue who works to free Jacobites and get them to safety. He somehow manages to avoid the English and leaves behind a playing card featuring his namesake: the black knave. Bethia has no idea that she is playing at a dangerous game and that as she gets closer to Rory, she is also closer to finding the man she seeks.
