Her life further turned upside down by unwittingly becoming hand-fasted to Gregory McGregor one night, Abbey now faces the idea of marriage to a man she just met less than 6 months ago. As she continues to rebuild her life and a new home in the Highlands of Scotland, Abbey soon must face her past fears and losses once again. Just when life in Ullapool seems to settle into simple and endless repetition of day to day life in the country, Abbey soon learns about the truth of her past with Gregory, only to nearly lose him not just once, but three times. Each time a different test, a different set of rules in which she must choose wisely, hoping not to repeat past mistakes, securing life's knots tighter or unraveling fate's threads forever in her attempt to set herself free from the past that haunts her to the unknown future that intimidates her.
