Arranged marriages are so three centuries ago. But that doesn&#39;t stop Afton Lennox from being bound by one. All her life she&#39;s been pledged to wed Connor MacKean. It&#39;s the only way to save both their families&#39; estates, and they&#39;re friends, after all, so it won&#39;t be that bad. Right?<br /><br />Hamish Colquhoun has spent his entire adult life trying to find a way to liberate his best friend from a marriage he doesn&#39;t want. If it also spares the woman he&#39;s secretly loved for years, it&#39;s of no mind to him. He&#39;s already got a wife and family of his own. Freeing them both is just the right thing to do.<br /><br />But with the wedding just days away, time is running short. Afton and Connor are prepared to do their duty, fulfilling the pact made by their long-dead ancestors. There&#39;s one option Hamish hasn&#39;t mentioned. It would only buy some time at best and risk everything at worst. But as Afton begins to question everything, Hamish finds he can&#39;t stay silent.<br /><br />God save them all.
