Violet Ainsworth journeys from England to the Scottish Highlands, hoping to find love just as her sisters did. But her dreams are shattered when she meets her betrothed: Laird McKenzie, a man older than her late father. Panic grips her heart.

Just when all seems lost, the Laird reveals her true fiancé—his grandson, Ewan McKenzie. Relief washes over Violet, but it is fleeting. Ewan, a strong and vigorous man, has sworn to hate the English till his dying day, ever since they killed his father. With cold eyes, he tells her she's come all this way for nothing.

Trapped in an unfamiliar land with a man who loathes her, Violet refuses to give up. She is determined to find a way to break through Ewan's hardened heart. But she has no idea that her arrival is the opportunity Ewan's enemies have been waiting for.

As shadows of betrayal and manipulation loom, Violet becomes the perfect pawn to bring devastation to the McKenzie clan. In a world where hate runs deep and enemies are closer than they appear, can love truly find a way?
