Leana Campbell stands by the fresh grave of Laird Campbell, the man who rescued her from the streets and raised her as his own. His brutal murder has left her heart burning with a single desire: vengeance.

At the funeral, a mysterious and battle-scarred stranger named Brodrick catches her eye. With the bearing of a bandit rather than a friend, he seeks employment at the Campbell estate. Suspicious yet intrigued, Leana sees an opportunity to uncover his connection to her father's death.

But Brodrick is a fortress of secrets, refusing to aid her quest for revenge or even train her in the art of combat. His reluctance only deepens her mistrust—could he be the very murderer she seeks?

Desperate and defiant, Leana sets out alone to hunt down the killers, only for Brodrick to intercept her in the dead of night. He knows too much about her and her family, and Leana faces an impossible choice: trust this enigmatic warrior or seek justice with her own hands, even if it means killing him.

In the mist-shrouded Highlands, betrayal and romance entwine as Leana walks the fine line between love and vengeance. Will she uncover the truth before it's too late?
