"Complete betrayal begins with complete trust..."

With tears in her eyes, young Eilidh rides away from the only home she's ever known, fleeing a forced marriage to a cruel Laird twice her age. Disguised and desperate, she embarks on a perilous journey through the breathtaking Scottish Highlands.

Crossing paths with Iain, a rugged leatherworker seeking a better life for himself and his sisters, Eilidh struggles to keep her distance. Resisting his charm would be difficult for any woman—and Eilidh is anything but experienced.

As her father's relentless hunt draws closer, Eilidh's heart begins to waver. But she's about to discover a harsh lesson: the deepest betrayal can only come from the one you let closest to your heart.

Will Eilidh find the freedom she craves, or will her trust lead to her ultimate downfall?
