Callum Ross has ninety days to save a two-hundred-year-old distillery. There’s just one problem: his grandfather’s will demands he marry a woman chosen eleven years before either of them ever met.

Elena Marchetti came to a remote Scottish estate to appraise a private collection — nothing more. When a solicitor’s letter reveals her own name written into a dead man’s will, she’s faced with an impossible choice: walk away from a stranger’s fortune, or marry a man she’s known for four days to save forty families from ruin.

Their arrangement is simple. Ninety days. One marriage.
No expectations.

But nothing about Callum’s family is simple.

Behind his guarded silence is a man carrying a grandfather’s guilt he never asked to inherit. Behind Elena’s careful composure is a woman about to discover that her mother’s entire history — her marriage, her silence, even Elena’s own existence — was quietly shaped by the same family she’s now bound to. Thrown into a world of old money, buried letters, and a cousin determined to seize what was never his, Callum and Elena must convince an entire island their bond is real — while both privately swear it changes nothing.

Until the lines begin to blur.

Because proximity breeds trust. Trust demands honesty. And the truth buried in a locked room may be the only thing that can finally set two families free.
