The Highlander's Fugitive - Highland Heroes, #5

Falsely accused of being a witch. Betrayed by villagers whose lives she had saved. Sorcha has no choice but to run for her life... When a mother and newborn die under her care, Sorcha McLeod is forced to flee with her childhood friend, Dermid Mackenzie, who rescues her from a frenzied mob of torch-bearing villagers. Thanks to ugly rumors that have been spread about her, Sorcha realizes in despair that she has no chance of going back home to clear her name.
But that fades into insignificance when she discovers that she and Dermid will not be able to find a safe harbor anywhere in Scotland. The fear of witches and witchcraft is too deeply entrenched throughout the land... The pair keep running, and things get worse. When pretending to curse their hunters to effect to escape when they are cornered, Sorcha merely confirms what everyone now thinks of her.
All she ever wanted to do was to be a healer like her mother Maura, and work with the magic she feels flowing through her veins to help those who need her-mothers, babes, injured warriors, and sick villagers. Instead, Sorcha and Dermid are forced to make their way even deeper into the wilds of Scotland, daring to trust no-one....
