The one thing he mustn’t teach her is… love.
Arabella does not know if she should be happy or terrified with her new situation. She has lived her whole life as an ordinary lass struggling to make ends meet, and now a mysterious man called Henry Munro is at her home telling her that she is of noble origin! With much caution, Arabella decides to follow the handsome Highlander, wondering if she has taken a path to a better life or doom.
Henry explains to her that he is the counselor of the local Laird and that he has requested her presence. When the Laird sees his most trusted man bringing the lass to him, he can reveal the whole truth and his secret plan; Arabella is his daughter and heir, and Henry is tasked to be her tutor and turn her into a noble lady!
If the orders were not given by the Laird, Henry would have dismissed them right away; a young lass as a student is the last thing he wants in his life as he has personal and political issues to take care of. But Henry knows that the Laird must have chosen her for a good reason. Indeed, since the Laird has no other children, chaos would erupt in the clan after his death, and Henry can not allow that to happen.
While Arabella is trying to adjust to her new life, she begins to fall for her new tutor, and every day, it is getting harder and harder to hide that. Slowly but surely, the lass proves to be not only intelligent and a quick learner but also charming. Henry has to remind himself that even though Arabella has been of marrying age for a few years now, he could never be with the daughter of his Laird.
When Arabella hears that Henry has a betrothed, she is devastated and decides to get betrothed as well, leaving Henry with a deadly dilemma. He might have the power to cancel her betrothal, but will that be for the right reasons or out of jealousy? As the health of the Laird deteriorates and those who desire the Lairdship gain more and more ground against Arabella, she and Henry must clarify what they mean to each other if she wants to avoid assassination and become the Lady of the clan.
