Juliana and Elliot knew each other as children. Juliana has always been in love with Elliot and resigns herself to an engagement to another when it seems like Elliot will never return to Scotland. Elliot went off to war and later made money as a plantation owner in India. It was there he was kidnapped/captured and held captive and tortured. They get another chance together when the man Juliana is going to marry leaves her at the later (he eloped with someone else the day of his wedding with Juliana). Knowing people will talk, Juliana asks Elliot to marry her. He accepts and it turns out he would have objected had the vows happened.
This did have some harder moments; Elliot suffers from PTSD from his imprisonment. He also brings his Indian servant and his family with him. I would have liked more dialogue with Channan, Nandita, Komal.
I did want to like this book more than I did. It was easy to put down and I found I just didn't connect with this like the previous books in this series.
