Hester's sister Genie married one of the MacGregor brothers in the previous book (her cousin Augusta was the main story-line with Ian). Her brother Matthew married Mary Francis, the MacGregor sister.
Mary Francis and Matthew are on an extended honeymoon, so Hester comes to stay with Fiona, Mary Francis's daughter. Tiberius (Tye)'s brother Gordie (deceased) is Fiona's father. At his father's order, he arrives in Scotland to take Fiona with him to live with her paternal side of the family. There is frustration on the MacGregor side, because Tye shows up without warning and the Flynns have never acknowledged Fiona before now. So, what changed?
Tye decides to stay and wait. While he gets to know Fiona, he and Hester fall for each other. Hester is a much stronger character in this book. She suffered a scandal; she broke her engagement to someone who only wanted her money. There is an explanation by the end of the book in regards to why Tye was sent to get Fiona. Grief and they way some people handle grief play into various people's actions (and reactions). Tye's parents (who have been estranged) get some time and there is a resolution in regards to their relationship. In part helped along by Hester (and Tye).
