Hero

When Ella finally escapes the sheltered life her overprotective family built for her, the last thing she expects is to develop feelings for Gordain, the brooding Scottish pilot who literally swept her to safety. But Gordain's convinced himself that his burning attraction to his best friend's younger sister is just a distraction from his crumbling military career—until Ella's conniving uncle threatens everything she's worked toward, and a fake marriage becomes her only lifeline. What starts as a convenient arrangement between two people determined to ignore their chemistry quickly becomes something neither of them can deny, as they discover that sometimes the person you're running from is exactly who you've been searching for all along. This Highland romance perfectly balances swoon-worthy tension with genuine emotional stakes, proving that sometimes hero status has nothing to do with the military uniform.
