In the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands, two hearts are destined for each other—but fate has other plans.

Ava's world is crumbling. With her father gravely ill and her family's survival at stake, hope is fading. The only light in her life is Cameron, the man she loves.

Cameron, the illegitimate son cast aside by Laird Lewis, has only ever wanted Ava. Now, called to assume his half-brother's role as heir, it seems he can finally make her his bride.

But the path to lairdship comes with a cruel condition: he must marry another. Torn between duty and desire, Cameron faces an impossible choice.

As another suitor steps forward to claim Ava's hand, their last chance at happiness slips away. Will love conquer all, or will they be forced apart forever?
