Declan Sinclair is a Highlander who believes his dreams never lie. When he spots Caya at a public house, he knows instantly she is the woman in his dreamsβhis future wife. Though her brother had promised never to gamble again, he engages Declan in a card gameβand the prize is the lovely Caya.
Caya Pendarvis has no time for childish things like dreams or fairy-tales or love. Sheβs the sacrificial lamb on her way to the far north of Scotland to wed a wealthy merchant in exchange for settling her brotherβs gambling debts.
Winning at cards is one of the many things Declan Sinclair does well. Unfortunately, the ability to court a womanβa talent he lacksβis the only skill he desperately needs to win Cayaβs heart.
