Description
Selina is trapped in a loveless marriage, abused by the dark shadow of the man she fell in love with during their courtship. The Earl's cruelty only increases as year after year, she fails to conceive an heir. Isolated from society with no family to call upon, she lives each day in fear, drawing on her will to survive.
Clan MacAlpin's heir, Taran, is reluctantly in pursuit of a wife. His father is anxious to see him wed with children to ensure the clan's legacy continues and has given him mere months to select a match. Still suffering the loss of his former love, Taran rejects the list of prospects from neighboring clans, fearing he will never feel for another woman and hoping to avoid a contentious marriage like that of his own parents.
When the Earl acquires an estate in Scotland, he travels to the highlands with Selina in tow. His new lands border those of the MacAlpin's. When Taran travels to visit his new neighbors, his attraction to the English beauty is hard to disguise. Suspecting she is being mistreated, he struggles to keep his distance, knowing his attention will only cause further harm.
Selina is overwhelmed by her burgeoning feelings for the highlander and tries to disguise them for fear the earl will find yet another excuse to punish her. She knows she will never be free of her husband, but she cherishes the few moments she spends with Taran.
When the earl's abuse threatens Selina's life, Taran steps in to protect her and the consequences threaten both their futures.
