Laird of Darkness (2011)
““M’lady Alana,” Angus shouted.
Heart thumping in her throat, Alana whirled from the window. “What is it?” “That bastard MacClaren has shot Duncan through the heart.” Cold fear washed over Alana, near paralyzing her. An arrow through Duncan’s heart? He might already be dead. “Where is he?” “Bring him in,” Angus yelled.

As she passed through the kitchen, she asked for boiling water to be taken to Duncan’s chamber.MoreLess
