Nothing can break a woman who's already been hurt.

Freya Campbell has sworn off love. Betrayed and used by those who sought to harm her, she believes her heart is sealed forever. But when she meets Craig Laing, a warrior and Laird of a neighboring clan, her resolve begins to waver. His devilish charm and genuine kindness awaken feelings she thought were long buried.

Craig teaches her the art of the bow and arrow, and for the first time in years, Freya dares to dream again. Yet, she knows she must guard her heart, especially when her brother sees their union as a strategic move to reclaim Dunscaith Castle—the ancestral home they've lost for half a century.

Torn between her own desires and the needs of her people, Freya agrees to marry Craig for the greater good. But once bound in matrimony, she discovers that Craig is not who she thought he was. Trapped in a foreign place, surrounded by enemies, she must navigate treacherous alliances and unlock the mysteries of her husband's heart.

With time running out, can Freya unravel Craig's true intentions before her clan is wiped from history forever? In a land where every corner hides a new danger, will love be her salvation—or her undoing?
