When a fierce Highland warrior claims a king's illegitimate daughter as his bride, neither expects the chemistry that ignites between them—especially when Ewan is consumed by dreams of revenge and Mairin has learned to guard her heart fiercely. Forced into marriage as a strategic move, Mairin discovers that her commanding new husband has a surprisingly tender side that awakens something primal within her. As passion builds between them and war looms on the horizon, Mairin's strength and spirit begin to challenge everything Ewan thought he wanted, forcing him to choose between the vengeance that's consumed him and a love that could be his greatest victory. This is sweeping Highland romance at its finest—with steamy chemistry, emotional depth, and the perfect blend of danger and devotion.
