Winner in a field of losers

I generally hate romance novels, because there is usually no plot and they bore the heck out of me. I really liked this book. The main character, Niall, is a man with scruples born into a family without scruples. During a raid on the MacDonald's stronghold, Niall's father and brother decide to massacre a whole family. Niall tries to stop the massacre, and does end up sparing one person. Niall is so disgusted over the event, he leaves Scotland. Several years pass, Hamish MacDonald kills Niall's father. Niall returns to Scottland to avenge his father. AFter breaking into the MacDonald stronghold, Niall, who is wounded, holds Maura MaDonald, sister of Hamish, hostage. Maura recognizes Niall. She takes a gamble, based on past experience, that Niall will not kill her. Niall spares Maura. Maura decides to hide Niall until he is recovered enough to return to the Campbells. Niall falls in love with Maura's beauty and courage, and ends up giving up his plan of revenge. Maura falls in love with Niall's courage and honorable tendencies. Against this backdrop, Niall's brother and mother decide to exploit Niall's compassionate nature, and kill Niall and Maura, as they participate in the Glencoe massacre. This book, in my opinion, is worth reading.
