Plot Summary of A Gentle Feuding
"Jamie Mackinnion is a feared laird in Scotland who spots the beautiful Sheena and instantly falls for her. Unknown to him, she is part of the Fergusson clan, the hated enemy of the Mackinnions.

After a series of events Sheena turns up at the Mackinnion's castle and Jamie cannot believe his luck and is determined to marry her, however Sheena knows who he is and has heard stories of his brutal unkind nature and refuses to have anything to do with him.
