The streets of Paris and her father’s cruelty have haunted Amelie Dubois for years, forcing her into a life of silence. Despite living in the safety of a nunnery in Scotland far away from the horrors of being a beggar in France and facing the locals’ scorn, she still can’t help feeling that she doesn’t belong.

The war might be over, but her internal conflict is raging and the voices taunting her for being unable to speak still echo in her mind as she visits her twin brother’s Keep to celebrate their birthday. Having lived under her sister’s protection and shadow, she finally wants to break free and seek her own destiny.

Her chance will arise with Evan McPherson, the newly appointed Captain of the Guard who is trying to prove himself to his new Laird, asking her for a dance. His meeting with Amelie will make his heart beat a little bit faster and his desire awakens. She seems eager to return his affection until his old habits seem to surface once again…

She has always longed for someone to accept her as she is and he has yearned for someone to see beyond the facade, but they will discover that some stains are too difficult to wash away. Amidst their emotional torment, a malicious scheme is threatening to take everything away from her. Can she find her voice to fight for his love and the safety of her clan?
