Y eso daba lugar a la cuestión más difícil de todas: ¿Cómo iba a evitar el desastre, si ahora su corazón estaba implicado en el asunto?"[…] tentadora desde la primera página"Publishers Weekly sobre Seducida por un escocés

Kuid kiri ammuselt armastatult sunnib Daisyt koos oma väikese pojaga Šoti mägismaal asuvasse mõisasse sõitma, et enne mehe naasmist aega võita. Teel kohtab ta jõulist Cailean Mackenziet, Arrandale’i mõisahärrat ja kurikuulsat salakaubavedajat, ning on tahtmatult täiesti lummatud. Caileanil pole oma orgu mingit sassenach’i vaja. Kuid Daisy häbitu, flirtiv loomus ja ahvatlev ilu äratavad temas huvi.
Samal ajal kui ebatõenäoline abielu toob kaasa ohtliku kire Šoti mägismaa lopsakas roheluses, rullub lahti nurjatu intriig.

Aga kui nende kodumaade vaheline habras liit ähvardab laguneda, peab Margot naasma abikaasa juurde, et uurida välja mehe roll reetmises, enne kui tema perekonda jõutakse selles süüdistada.
Punapäine ja rohesilmne Margot oli Arrani kaunis mõrsja. Naise kaotus on teda piinanud, kuid tema naasmine seab ohtu kõik, mille Arran on saavutanud.
