His heart belongs to another, but duty demands he wed his enemy...

After years of brutal war against the English, Mitchell Beattie returns to his family's estate in the Scottish Highlands seeking peace. But his reprieve is shattered when his father orders him to marry Thea, the daughter of the powerful English Lord Abbott, to repay a crippling clan debt.

Little does his clan know, Mitchell harbors a perilous secret—he is already wed to a woman in France, a marriage born amid bloodshed and secrecy. Bound by honor and haunted by his hidden past, he faces an impossible choice.

Thea Abbott anticipated marrying a noble Englishman, not a battle-hardened Highlander filled with hatred for her people. Determined to prove she's not the enemy, she seeks to soften Mitchell's hardened heart. As unexpected sparks ignite between them, the web of secrets threatens to unravel.

With dangers mounting and alliances fraying, Thea must uncover the truth behind Mitchell's mysterious past. Can she conquer his heart and save both their clans from destruction? Or will the revelation of his secret wife tear their worlds apart?
