It’s Christmastide, and Lady Aileana Grant is determined to feed her starving clan, even if it means pilfering vegetables. But the stolen produce doesn’t belong to just anybody. Those vegetables belong to Laird James MacDonald, who everyone knows as “the devil.” Now the devil wants his payment—Aileana’s hand in marriage. The only way James can inherit his fortune is by marrying an enemy bride. Cursed restrictions. But from the moment he faces Aileana, he’s unable to look away from her wild, untamed beauty. He might as well handfast with the infernal lass, get his money, and maybe even broker peace among the clans. Now he has only a fortnight to win the sharp-tongued lady’s heart... Now the countdown to Twelfth Night is on. Aileana has two weeks to negotiate a severance and put up with the devilish laird in the process. But when payment comes due, will she barter for her freedom...or fall for the devil himself?

Lady Aileana Grant just wants to help her starving clan at Christmastide. So she pilfers some vegetables from the bastard Laird James MacDonald--the Devil, they call him. When the Devil shows up and demands marriage as recompense for the thievery, Aileana can't believe it when her brother agrees. Even if she's able to negotiate a severance on Twelfth Night, that's still two weeks to put up with the laird in enemy territory. She's counting down the days, even if James isn't quite the disgusting cretin she'd imagined. James needs to marry an enemy bride in order to inherit his fortune. Cursed restrictions. He'd been unable to look away from Aileana's untamed beauty ever since she squared off with him. He might as well handfast with the infernal lass. He'd get his money and perhaps some peace among the clans. He has a fortnight to win the heart of the lady with the voice of an angel despite her sharp tongue. Twelfth Night is merry and bright as Aileana and James realize a true connection between them. But when Aileana discovers the reason the Devil forced her into marriage, how can she ever believe he truly wants her?
