The young lady Giselle fled from her husband, the cruel and cynical Lord Deveaux. However, on the night of her escape, Deveau was killed - and the blame falls on Giselle. No one believes that she was not involved in the murder.

And the only one who is ready to come to the rescue is the stern Scottish highlander Nigel Murray, who, by the will of fate, saved her from her pursuers.

Nigel is ready to take Giselle away to Scotland, where she would be safe. However, the price for his help will be high - not gold, not diamonds, but love.
