When a betrothal is broken by a wayward bride, Darien dun Tahr finds himself in an awkward and unknowingly dangerous… position.
Lies, secrets, and betrayal abound in Scotland in this passionate tale of true love!
Darien, the second son of Lares dun Tarh, finds himself betrothed to a wealthy lass from a good Scottish family. He’s not particularly eager to marry, but he’s not particularly opposed to it, either. His new bride, a high-strung and vain woman, is insulted by his apathy, leaving a crack in the relationship between her family and his. Emelia Moriston is a troublemaker and always has been, but not as much as she is when she realizes Darien isn’t falling at her feet.
Not that it matters, because she doesn’t want him, anyway.
She wants her sister’s betrothed.
