Elspeth McGregor is stunned when her father announces that she's being given away in marriage before her older sisters. Worse, she's never even met the man who offered for her. Ever dutiful, Elspeth travels to a remote Highland castle to meet her groom, only to discover that her scarred and scornful husband is not at all happy to see her.
Struan Mac Innes negotiated a marriage because he needs an heir, though he knows that no woman would actually want him for a husband, not after the war ruined him. But
the always-cheerful Elspeth seems determined to play the role of wife no matter what. Despite all his efforts, Struan can't help falling a little bit in love with his maddening bride. Maybe he can find happiness after all.
When a shocking truth about the marriage contract is revealed, it shatters the delicate trust Elspeth and Struan have built together. Is there any way to heal the wounds, or will they both have an unhappily ever after?
