During the turbulent reign of the Scottish clans, acquiring land by abducting an heiress was a practiced custom. Molly Gordon, known as The Maid of Dunsithe, is spirited away from her family castle after a raid that claims her younger sister. Before her capture, her mother marks herself and Molly with a molten hot family key—an heirloom that guarantees their true identity and right to the Gordon fortune.
Molly grows up in a series of foster homes tied to shifting political alliances, yet she receives guidance from a secret clan of wee folk who have befriended her. When her fortunes change, she is brought into the household of Sir Finlay MacKenzie, a temperamental clan chieftain. Their lives collide as Fin orders her, sees her spirited nature, and falls in love. Their marriage unites their families, and Fin vows to aid Molly in locating the kin she lost your Yellic years ago.
With its backdrop of 16th‑century Scottish politics, family intrigue, and the quest for identity, “Abducted Heiress” follows Molly’s journey from kidnapped child to sovereign heiress as she navigates clan loyalties and the struggle for the Gordon legacy.
