Lady Eilis Dunbarton’s life undergoes a drastic change with
the death of her cousin, Agnes. Now she’s faced with the
disagreeable prospect of marrying the man who was to be her
cousin’s husband. Not by a change of contract, though.
Instead, by deceit—pretending to be her cousin. But if her
husband-to-be discovers she’s not really Agnes, her life is
forfeit. So what choice does Eilis have but to flee? When
Laird James MacNeill’s clan rescues a half-drowned lass from
the sea, there is speculation she is of the enemy clan,
especially since she doesn’t remember her own name. James is
immediately enticed with the lady, but his focus must remain
on finding the proper bride. For if he does not wed soon, he
must give up his holdings to one of his younger brothers.
Focus slips away with each day Eilis is close, and James
finds himself contemplating the thought of taking her to
wife without knowing her true identity. But how dangerous
would the end result be? And what will happen if Eilis’s
husband-to-be comes looking for her only to find her in the
arms of another man?
