Only a madman—or a very brave one—would dare to taste a temptation as dangerous as her.

Jillian's life has been a living hell since her husband's mysterious death, with the entire MacSeaver clan blaming her for their loss. Her only protector, the old Laird MacSeaver, is gone, and now she cannot rely on the new laird, Graeme MacSeaver. Graeme awakens desires she thought were long extinguished, but staying means facing a clan that despises her. Leaving might be her only option.

Burdened with his new role as laird, Graeme tries to ignore his cousin's widow, especially when he believes she bewitched her husband into madness. Yet, he can't shake the allure of her presence—a sweet poison he craves despite the danger. When the clan demands retribution for his cousin's death, Graeme faces an impossible choice: surrender Jillian to their vengeance or defy his people to protect her.

In a daring move, he proposes a solution that could save her but bind them both: marriage. As they navigate their unexpected union, passion ignites, but treachery and dark secrets lurk in the shadows, threatening to destroy them.

Will Graeme and Jillian overcome mistrust and uncover the truth before it's too late? Or will hidden enemies tear them apart forever?
