He ruined her sister's life. Now she'll make him regret it.
Elspeth Macquarrie's beloved brother disappeared while trying to secure an Alliance with the Maxton clan that guards the Scottish borders. While everyone is terrified and considers him dead, Elspeth is the only one who believes that he is still alive and decides to look for him.
However, an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the Maxton clan. Elspeth would have been happy to marry Logan, the son of Laird Maxton, but two years ago, the man broke his betrothal with her older sister via… a letter!
Since then, Elspeth despises the rude noble who destroyed her sister's life. But the lass desperately needs to know what happened to her brother, and only Logan could have the answer. Reluctantly she agrees to marry him, planning to treat him the way he treated her sister and abandon him out of the blue.
Unfortunately, Logan is one step ahead of Elspeth, and he offers her a strange deal. He will reveal to her what happened to her brother if she agrees to break their betrothal herself! Elspeth is perfectly happy to do that, but she is unsure whether she can trust Logan or if she will find death in his hands, the same way her brother might have…
