Lady Lisbeth McPearson is anything but a typical noblewoman. Preferring the thrill of riding and the camaraderie of the guards over the constraints of courtly life, her rebellious spirit knows no bounds. But when her stern aunt and uncle decree that she must marry a nobleman and abandon her carefree ways, Lisbeth's world threatens to crumble.

Just as desperation sets in, a plea arrives from an allied clan: a child has been abducted, and they need her help. Seizing the chance to prove herself, Lisbeth embarks on a perilous quest to find the missing child, hoping to escape an unwanted marriage and show everyone she's more than just a bride-to-be.

On her journey, she encounters William MacMillian, a rogue warrior shrouded in mystery. He's after the child too—but for the promise of gold. Despite their clashing motives, they strike an uneasy alliance. As they delve deeper into danger, the tension between them ignites, and Lisbeth finds herself drawn to the enigmatic mercenary.

But trust is a luxury she can't afford. When faced with a choice that could betray William, Lisbeth must decide where her true loyalties lie. Is the bond between them real, or merely a means to an end?

Amidst the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands, secrets unravel and paths entwine. Will Lisbeth risk everything for a rogue she barely trusts?
