After eight years in the Sudan, Ewan Colquhoun returns home minus an eye and arm. His cold, grim childhood home hasn't changed except for the boy his wife died giving birth to--a son that isn't his. Bitter and angry at life, he quickly earns the title, the Beastly Earl of Argaty. When he finds Louisa half-dead on the moors, she stirs something inside him. Soon, he finds his life turned upside down by a woman hell-bent on taming the beast.
When tragedy strikes, Louisa becomes a widow with two young children. For two years, she's struggled with the grief and guilt from that terrible night. Eager to let go of the past, she returns to the Rockwood family's estate in Scotland, but an unfortunate accident places her in the path of the Earl of Argaty. She soon discovers letting go of the past is easier than taming the beast and freeing the man she loves.
