Everyone tells her to avoid him. Everyone but her heart...

Margaret MacGill has always been the overlooked wallflower, dreading the thought of marriage and certain she'd never catch a man's eye. So when her brother announces a series of Highland games with the prize being a kiss from her, panic sets in. How can she face all of Scotland's finest warriors expecting a radiant beauty?

Before the games begin, Margaret meets Brodie, a mysterious and charming Highlander who flirts with her without knowing her true identity. For the first time, she feels seen and desired. But her hopes are dashed when she discovers Brodie belongs to an enemy clan—making him entirely off-limits.

As the games unfold, Brodie comes second to the formidable Ivor, a towering warrior every lass would dream of. Yet, Margaret senses Ivor's arrogance and recoils at the thought of marrying him, despite her brother's ambitions to ally with his clan.

Caught between duty and desire, Margaret must choose between the man her heart longs for and the one her family demands she wed. But is following her heart a naïve risk that could bring ruin to her people? With secrets unraveling and danger awakening, Margaret's choice will shape not just her destiny, but the fate of her entire clan...
