Mary Lowell thought she knew what her future would hold - marriage to handsome Robert Campbell and a pampered life amidst the elite of London's society. Alex MacGannon, the Earl of Kilgannon, is in London to enlist economic and political help for his beleaguered Scotland, and love is far from his mind. But fate has other plans for these two. From the moment they meet, everything is changed. And suddenly the future looks very different.

Despite her aunt's warnings about the danger and hardships of life in the Highlands, Mary marries her handsome Scotsman. She quickly learns that marriage to a Scottish laird involves complications that she's never considered, while Alex finds that having a beautiful, intelligent wife can sometimes make life difficult. And as if settling into marriage and sharing their life isn't challenging enough, the threat of betrayal and war swirls over Kilgannon, threatening their happiness and the lives of the clan.

And someone is trying to kill Alex.
