Lady Rosalia Armstrong has cut her hair and disguised herself as a boy in order to flee from an arranged marriage where she is basically being sold and a lifetime of physical and mental abuse at the hands of her mother and her father not caring about it.
Laird Ciaran MacGregor finds a badly beaten boy and while looking at his injuries discovers he is a woman. Ciaran decides to take her to his home in the Highlands as his guest until he can bring her to the home of her Grandmother.
Feelings start to happen of course but the road won't be easy. Self-consciousness, doubt, and stubbornness are the least of their worries with dangerous plots in the works and Bloody Campbells running around.
