“We have kissed already. Ye dinnae have a reason tae be shy. In fact, we have done much more than kiss.”

Domnhall MacAuley may be a brute, but at least he's a courteous one. Until his betrothed comes into the picture and brings out the worst in him. The thing is they've already met—as two perfect strangers, in the dark of night, his hands touching places that should not have been caressed, considering she was promised. To him.

Despite his disdain for her behavior, Domnhall finds himself compelled to wed her, because… the vixen is blackmailing him.

Billie Robertson agrees that indulging in some pre-marital exploration might have been a slightly bad decision. Especially upon realizing he's her future husband, a laird reputed to be nothing short of a beast. So, when Domnhall declares he'll not marry Billie but her younger sister instead, Billie knows she cannot let her mistake ruin her sister's life.

Thus, she warns him that if he refuses to take her to the altar, she will reveal his biggest secret, that he confided to her in the throes of passion.

Billie and Domnhall are not prepared for the desire that consumes them. What they anticipate even less is that Domnhall's enemies are set on ruining him because of said secret…

He vowed to ruin her one kiss at a time…
