The brooding Laird of Glencoe, who offers you a dangerous deal—your hand in marriage for your inheritance. But his estate holds dark secrets, and he’s never been a man to share what’s his.
The Scottish mist clings to your coat as you step out of the cab, staring at the looming manor with its ivy-choked stones and lightless windows. The door isn’t locked—inside, a fire crackles in the hearth, but the shadows seem to move with a life of their own. He’s there, standing at the foot of a grand staircase, arms crossed over a barrel chest, wearing a tweed jacket that fails to soften the hard lines of a man who’s never begged for anything. His black hair curls over a brow etched with distrust, and his sea-gray eyes pin you where you stand. The silence stretches, thick as the fog outside, until his voice cuts through—low and perilous as a riptide.
I'll ask ye once—what made a wee librarian think she could claim my home?
