Anne is married to Aidan by proxy in London. Aidan hasn't been to London in years. He left as a young man to search out his Scottish roots. Not only is he a titled gentleman in London but also a Laird of a Scottish clan. Living as a Scotsman for so many years he has no desire to ever go back. He becomes mixed up in the rebellion against England and is unsure of how to handle that. In the meantime Anne shows up and proclaims to be his wife. She shows him the marriage contract signed by his sister in London. Aidan not only does not want a wife but her presence is dangerous for his clan's rebellious plot. He decides to make life so miserable for Anne that she will want to leave on her own. Anne is stubborn and fights to stay.

I liked the character of Anne and understood her development well. Aidan's character had some gaps. It was never fully explained why he left London and why he would never return. As much as he is enjoying his life as a Laird he seems to have doubts as to the rebellion and seems to suddenly switch gears towards the end.
