Chaos reigns between the Scott and Barde clans in 14th century Scotland. To end the generation's long feud, King Robert II of Scotland decrees EADEN, LAIRD SCOTT, and Lady Miriam Barde wed with all haste. When marriage negotiations break down, King Robert threatens Eaden with the loss of his lands and title. Forced to take matters into his own hands, the laird kidnaps his bride, only to find the young woman he mistakenly drags to his marriage bed is not Laird Barde's daughter, but her lady's companion. MARY MARSH fights for her freedom from the laird and the unwanted marriage, refusing to accept her new life as Lady Scott. Realizing his error, Laird Scott develops an attachment to the feisty young woman he has accidentally married. Can he win her heart and convince her she is more than just a 'duty' to him? Or will the bond forged between the lady's companion and the laird be destroyed by secrets and the feud that will not be laid to rest?

Cruelly betrayed by the woman he loves, Alexander MacGregor vows it will be a cold day in hell before he gives his heart again. But as next in line to become laird, he is given an ultimatum; wed a mysterious lass within five days or forfeit his lands and his birthright to become the next laird. Distrust and dark secrets urge him to refuse, but the duty he has trained for all his life compels him to comply. ...At least in appearance.

Forced together by fate, Alexander and Katherine agree on only one thing. Love is not to be trusted. Yet when nameless danger threatens Katherine, Alexander vows to move heaven and earth to save her.
