There was no winning this battle, so Lainie raised her eyes to meet his, and replied, "Anything thee ask, Mi'lord," and ask he did. He expected her to turn the tide of the battle for Scotland's independence to the English - by infiltrating the Wallace camp and then bring back word of their battle plans. She saw the gleam in his eyes, and recognized his insanity, but her parent's lives were at stake, and if she knew anything, she knew him cold enough to keep his cruel promises.

He'd been fighting the English by Wallace's side for three years, and now she wondered if there was enough love between them to survive her traitorous acts.

...and Roger had come home from battle because the heat of desire for Lainie MacKenzie ran so forcefully through his veins, he could no longer focus on the battle. He knew she was grown now, and he wanted to make her his.
