Arabella Cameron understood how the layer of ice on a frozen lake felt.
The smile she held on her face as another Mackintosh offered a poem about
her beauty would crack soon, just as that brittle ice did when hit by a stone.
She did not hold out much hope that she could keep smiling as the words
reached a new level of ridiculous praise. The tip of her nose tingled and the
worry over her face cracking disappeared when presented with the larger
concern of laughing.
Drawing in a slow breath, she blinked several times, hoping the danger of
being impertinent or disrespectful would pass soon. As she raised her eyes,
Arabella was horrified to meet the dark and brooding gaze of Brodie
Mackintosh. Seated at the end of the table to her right, the older of the two
men who were possible heirs to The Mackintosh stared back at her, not
flinching and not looking away. In the short time since they’d met, she did
not ever remember him smiling.
Nothing in his mahogany-brown eyes gave her any indication of how he
felt about these men regaling their clans with tales of her beauty and
graciousness. Or how he felt about her. Or the possibility that they might,
within a few months, be man and wife. Distracted by his intense stare, she
had not noticed the poem had ended or that the room silenced in
anticipation of her reaction.
Until he turned his glance away and angled his head towards… Towards
the Mackintosh bard who had stopped speaking and now looked
expectantly at her, awaiting her reaction to his words. Arabella nodded and

‘I am honoured by your kind words…’ She could not remember his name.
‘Dougal was not being kind, Lady Arabella,’ Caelan Mackintosh
interrupted. Seated to her left, he met her gaze and winked, knowing she’d
forgotten the bard’s name. ‘He was speaking the truth as we all see it to be.’
She turned back to the man who’d spoken and nodded.
‘Still, I am honoured by your praise, Dougal. And I thank you for
composing and sharing it with our clans.’
The bard bowed and returned to his seat amidst the cheering of those
gathered for this feast. Caelan leaned in closer and whispered so that others
did not hear.
‘You have bewitched all of the Mackintoshes with your beauty and grace,
Arabella. The Camerons could have won this feud long ago if they’d used
you as their secret weapon.’ He touched her hand, a slight caress, and then
lifted his cup to his mouth, all the while his gaze never straying from hers.
‘You have bewitched me.’
She’d heard these words before. She’d been praised for her beauty, a gift
from the Almighty that had nothing to do with her own accomplishments,
all of her life. But watching Caelan’s piercing blue eyes deepen as he spoke
