Forced into a marriage neither desires, Lilibeth Middleton and Ian Wallace devise a daring plan to shatter their unwanted betrothal without igniting a feud between their families.

As the rebellious daughter of an English Duke, Lilibeth dreads her journey to the untamed Scottish Highlands to meet the supposed savage she's destined to wed. But upon arrival, she discovers Ian is not only rough around the edges but also equally unwilling to be tied down.

Bound by a shared goal, they secretly collaborate to undermine their impending union. Yet, as they weave their web of deception, unexpected feelings begin to surface. Lilibeth notices doubts flickering in Ian's eyes—is he developing feelings for her, or is there a hidden agenda?

Trapped between her quest for freedom and the stirring of her heart, Lilibeth must decide: Can she trust the Highlander who was once her adversary, or will she have to find a new escape from her cold, windy prison?
