Escape was just the beginning.
In the opulent yet turbulent year of 1804 England, Miss SARAH MORTENSEN, cherished daughter of BARON HARTMORE, finds herself cornered into accepting yet another ill-suited marriage to salvage her family's crumbling estate—a consequence of her father's relentless gambling. With her patience dwindling and her dreams of true love fading into the shadows of duty, Sarah is desperate for an escape.
Enter the formidable Dowager Countess of Whickerton, affectionately known as Grandma Edie, a woman whose cunning is only matched by her reputation for scandalous yet successful schemes. With a twinkle in her eye and a plan up her sleeve, she offers Sarah a daring way out: a staged abduction that promises both freedom and adventure.
She sought solitude; fate delivered a Scotsman.
Compelled into action, KEIR MACKINNEAR, a robust and brooding Scotsman from the wilds of the Scottish Highlands, reluctantly agrees to the countess's audacious plan. Under the cloak of night, he spirits Sarah away to a secluded woodland cottage, where they are to remain hidden from the prying eyes of society. As winter whispers through the trees, their forced proximity kindles a warmth that neither can deny.
Surrounded by the rustic charm of nature, a cluster of spirited chickens, and Loki, a royally poised cat, the pair discovers that love often blooms in the most unexpected places. But as the snow deepens, Keir begins to suspect that their escape was not solely for Sarah's benefit. Could the wily Grandma Edie have a secondary motive, weaving a match not just of convenience, but of passion?
Who said kidnapping can't be romantic?
As secrets unravel and true feelings emerge, Sarah and Keir must decide if they dare to trust their hearts and defy the rigid rules of society. Will this audacious escapade lead them to a love as wild and beautiful as the untamed Highlands themselves?
Behind every great escape is a dowager with a plan and a cat with an attitude.
