So the family hatches a plan to save his reputation. Sylvie Deveraux is a tough nut to crack. The daughter of indifferent parents, she lets no one get close to her. When Sylvie sneaks into the Barclay estate while traveling through Scotland, the last thing she expects is to run into a rude and insufferable Highlander. And she certainly doesnt expect to see that scoundrel again. However, a few weeks later, Killians family makes her an offer: a year of a sham marriage in exchange for ten million dollars. Sylvie agrees, keeping her own secret hidden. But the closer the end of the arrangement draws, the harder the choice becomes: should she save a man with a dark soul, or break his heart now that it truly belongs to her?
