A seemingly perfect plot. A ruinous tragedy. A desperate arrangement. When Isabella turns her back on London society, will she discover the endless delights of an ardent lover's embrace? Or will her life be ruined forever?
Scotland, 1818. Lady Isabella Fielding has made a terrible mistake. Desperate to escape her father's strict household, the pregnant nineteen-year-old's practical-minded elopement to Gretna Green with a childhood friend has been brought to a murderous halt by highwaymen. As she cradles her would-be husband's dead body, she's stunned to be swept up into the arms of a strong-jawed and stormy-eyed Scot.
Drew Gordon, Earl of Galloway, carries a dark secret. When he comes across a damsel in distress, he stifles his inappropriate reaction to the wounded beauty and focuses on giving her the care she deserves. But though he's taken a self-imposed vow to avoid marriage, seeing the shy girl blossom as she shelters in his home puts his oath to a difficult test.
With Isabella determined to become a magnificent partner rather than some man's ornamental wife, she starts to dream about staying in the North forever with the man who sets her afire with every touch and kiss. But as the cage of Drew's duty tightens again, he decides he has no right to hold on to his heart's desire.
With so many obstacles in the way of the future they want, will Isabella and Drew risk everything to win a happily ever after?
