A Highland Escort

As the eldest bastard of the Thane of Cawdor, Arran Duncan has been all over his father’s lands as his representative, bearing the thane’s seal and carrying his authority. But playing escort to a spoiled daughter of one of his father’s lairds on the dangerous southern road was not a task he ever expected to be saddled with. He has a duty to protect her, but leaving her on the side of the dirt road wouldn’t be a bad option, either.
