Lynette Black never wanted the fairy tale love story that all of the other women in London seemed to crave. She was content with living on the Island and staying as far away from the 1812 season as possible. That is, until fate stepped in. When the fever took her parents, Lennie was forced to move away from her best friends, Lacey and Camden, and into the lavish home of her Godparents with her younger brother and sister. Lynette is determined not to change her way of life nor to let her siblings become victim to society's rules. But, her new house mate, Kit Grayson, is ever disapproving of her less than appropriate attitude. With the London season quickly approaching, the Grayson's eldest, rebel son, Nate, finds his way home and locks his sight on Lynette. With war waging between the Greyson's and the Black's, the families decided to abandon the season for the Scottish Lakes. Rest assured that either Scotland nor their guests will ever be the same again when an artist and a solider fall in love with a simple island girl.
