In the rugged Highlands, passion ignites between two unlikely souls.

Bruce Ferguson, the new blacksmith of Invergar, is as tough and wild as the untamed landscape. His handsome features and brooding scars draw the deepest desires of many women, yet his heart remains closed, wounded by a turbulent past.

Heather McVey, the privileged daughter of a laird in Aberdeen, feels trapped by her betrothal to a man she doesn't love. Yearning for freedom, she crosses paths with Bruce, and sparks fly—but not the kind she expected.

Their worlds couldn't be more different, and their initial meeting fans the flames of animosity. Yet beneath the surface, an irresistible attraction pulls them together.

As fate entangles their lives, will Bruce and Heather overcome their differences and defy the odds? Or will the barriers between their worlds keep them apart forever?
