As she follows a thrilling yet terrifying impulse to stay in Scotland indefinitely, Thea realizes that her new life may quickly become just as complicated as the one she was running from.
But bickering with Edward proves oddly refreshing and exciting, leading Thea to develop feelings she hasn\'t experienced in a long time.
His gruff attitude--fueled by an infamous, long-standing feud with his brother, a local lord--tests Thea\'s patience.
