He came for the Lairdship. Now he will claim her too.

Tyler, the illegitimate son of the late Laird McSwien, has returned to seize the life he and his mother were denied. On the fateful day of Tilda's wedding to his brother Alec, Tyler storms the castle, ousts Alec, and takes Tilda as his own bride.

Tilda has lived her life bound by duty, her future determined by clan obligations. Now, thrust into marriage with a man she scarcely knows—a rugged warrior unversed in the ways of ruling—she is torn. Is Tyler a liberator or a usurper?

As Alec's thirst for vengeance threatens to destroy everything their father built, Tilda must decide where her true loyalties lie. Can she stand by her new husband's side and help him save the clan? Or will their turbulent union consume them all?
