In Bride (Simon) Reissue Edition, Baron Jamison has been ordered by his king to marry off two of his daughters to Scottish noblemen. As the preparations are on for the wedding, one of the prospective grooms is pointed towards a third prospective bride by the baron's stableman.
Beautiful young Jamie is not interested in marriage at the moment. The baron's youngest child, his step-daughter, took over the charge of her family after her mother's death, and the baron is very happy with the arrangement, for Jamie is a capable young woman.

She does not want to be married to anyone, least of all to the arrogant and unbearable Alec Kincaid. But a woman's consent is of no importance, and the wedding goes ahead as planned. Jamie is not one to go down meekly though, and the bride turns up in black for her marriage.

Alec Kincaid thinks he has acquired a beautiful young wife who will know to stay in her place and do everything that is expected of her, no more, no less. But Jamie is not what he expected, she refuses to behave with the meek submissiveness expected of wives.

As the two square off against each other in Bride (Simon) Reissue Edition, and as they focus on each other's faults, they also eventually begin discovering qualities they admire in each other too, and fall genuinely in love, hoping, without outwardly expressing their feelings, that the other returns their love too
