“You are new here, so I will explain. In this land, nobility comes not from one’s fathers or a title or from the land one owns, but from one’s actions.” His voice was hard-edged, and his words seemed harsh to her. “The MacKinnon brothers are the highest nobility to those who live on the frontier—true warriors, men who know how to fight and survive, men who put the lives of others before their own.

“Have you always been this skilled with women?" - Joseph to Iain”
“I...I've never met a man like you."He chuckled, a broad grin on his face. "Of that, my lady, I'm certain.”
