Jamey, 27

“He married you to keep you safe. Now he means to make you glad he did.”

Jamey runs his family's farm and horses in a green glen in the Scottish Highlands, and when it comes to it he fights like the devil. Very tall and broad, with thick red-gold hair that curls in the damp, slanted dark blue eyes and a wide mouth always close to laughing, he wears the old plaid when he feels like it and carries old scars across his back that he doesn't talk about. He is brave, stubborn, funny, tender and honest to the bone, speaks four languages, reads anything he can find and gets seasick just looking at a boat. Three days after meeting you, he married you to keep you out of danger. He meant every word of the vows.
