This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

A billion-pound secret. A past she can't outrun. This New Year's, the truth is about to be the ultimate party crasher.

Amelia Cole is a master of the analytical. As a freelance journalist, she knows every story has two sides, and she's spent years burying her own. When she's invited to a lavish Scottish castle for Hogmanay, she expects a quiet holiday with her best friends. She doesn't expect to walk straight into a wall of muscle belonging to the one man who still makes her knees weak: Cameron Keith.

Cameron is more than just a powerful Laird with a billion-pound empire; he's the "exception" Amelia never truly got over. Years ago, their parents' scandalous affair tore them apart, leaving Amelia to flee to London while Cameron inherited a legacy of duty and cold, hard numbers.

Now, Cameron is back, and he isn't just looking for an apology. He's looking for a bride. He's armed with a shocking secret from his father's will and a background check that proves Amelia has been keeping tabs on him, too. To claim his full inheritance, Cameron must marry, but he refuses to settle for anyone but the woman who first had his heart.

When their meddling mothers arrive unexpectedly, the fragile truce between Amelia and Cameron ignites into a storm of desire. Between stolen moments in a tower bedroom and a magical tartan tradition, the chemistry is undeniable. But as the clock strikes midnight, Amelia must decide: is she marrying for a second chance at love, or is she just the final piece of a billionaire's business deal?

One night. Two rival families. And a magical New Year's vow that might just lead to a nursery full of future Lairds.
