Killian Barclay's had enough heartache to last a lifetime, and he has no more need for love. It doesn't take long for tales of his raunchy house parties to reach the rest of his family, though. As the daughter of famous yet neglectful parents, Sylvie Devereaux's grown a hard shell and keeps everyone at arm's length. So when she sneaks into Barclay Manor during a trip to Scotland to get a glimpse of a famous heirloom, she doesn't anticipate facing off against the brutish, maddening highlander who lives there. Just weeks later, she's approached by Killian's family with a proposal―move to Scotland and marry Killian to improve his playboy reputation, and after one year, she'll walk away with 10 million dollars. But as she grows closer to Killian, she has to decide: Is the love of a good man with a dark soul worth keeping, or is she willing to break Killian's heart now that it's well and truly hers?
