In the captivating novel by Ciesielskis, an American heiress finds herself amidst the aftermath of the Great War, while a wounded Scottish laird confronts his past and encounters a woman he never anticipated. Lily Durham, known for her carefree lifestyle, is unexpectedly sent to England as a "cure" for her frivolous behavior. However, the outbreak of the war disrupts her plans, and she joins her cousin in nursing wounded soldiers at a remote convalescent home nestled within the rugged Scottish Highlands.
Kinclavoch Castle, once a proud symbol of the MacGregor family's heritage, faces financial difficulties, leading Alec MacGregor, the laird, to sell off pieces of his family's history. Labeled a coward for avoiding the trenches due to an old injury, Alec seeks redemption by offering his home to the British troops. However, his world is turned upside down when a new American nurse, Lily, arrives at the castle, bringing with her a burst of light and energy.
Lily and Alec are thrown together as they navigate a series of mysterious events that jeopardize the future of Kinclavoch. Despite their initial disagreements, they must put aside their differences and work together to uncover the culprit before it's too late. As they spend more time together, they discover that their greatest distraction may be the undeniable spark between them.
