Tales of the Archer - Corthan Companion, #1.5

She was the woman he'd risk everything for. Young Reid Tarhill has a plan to make Maura, the chieftain's daughter, notice him. Unfortunately, his father notices, too. Reid's not surprised his father tries to thwart the courtship. But when Old Tarhill throws in with a rival clan's suitor, the fate of all Bear Clan hangs in the balance. The Seal Clan's heir is a far better match for a woman of Maura's status, but Gilland Fynan doesn't know her like Reid does.
He wasn't her childhood friend. Reid charms Maura with tales of love and honor instead of status and grand deeds, and kisses tell Reid where her heart truly lies. Then, sickness, a dangerous rogue and a damning revelation threaten to tear them apart for good. It will take more than a faithful heart and a handful of stories to keep his Clan and his beloved Maura safe.
