Bucky, heir to the Scottish Duke of Buchanan, is betrothed to Tony, the son of a wealthy English industrialist. Despite tension between their countries, the boys are instantly taken with one another, and strike up a fond friendship and lively correspondence. They’re only able to meet in person a handful of times, but both are eagerly looking forward to the day when Tony is old enough to wed and can make the journey north to join his husband-to-be at Castle Buchanan.
Which makes it all the more upsetting when Tony turns seventeen and Bucky doesn’t send for him, and Tony’s letters go unanswered. Tony is left to wait, alone, and wonder what’s become of his betrothed.
Imprisoned by Hydra, a band of Scottish rebels, Bucky’s every breath is a struggle for mere survival. It’s a good thing Tony’s there to help him through.
