Description

A young Jamie Fraser learns what it really means to become a man in this Outlander prequel novella.

Mourning the death of his father and gravely injured at the hands of the English, Jamie Fraser finds himself running with a band of mercenaries in the French countryside, where he reconnects with his old friend Ian Murray.

Both are nursing wounds; both have good reason to stay out of Scotland; and both are still virgins, despite several opportunities to remedy that deplorable situation with ladies of easy virtue.

But Jamie’s love life becomes infinitely more complicated—and dangerous—when a Jewish doctor hires them to escort two priceless treasures to Paris.

One is the doctor’s beautiful granddaughter destined for an arranged marriage. Both Jamie and Ian are instantly drawn to the bride-to-be—but they might be more cautious if they had any idea who they’re truly dealing with.
