About this book

Judith journeys to the Scottish Highlands with two missions: to support her childhood friend and to finally meet the father she's never known. Instead, she collides with the irresistible Laird Iain Maitland, a formidable Highland warrior who's been tasked with escorting her safely through his lands. As their initial sparring gives way to undeniable passion and genuine connection, Judith finds herself falling for both Iain and the warmth of his clan—but a dangerous secret about her father threatens to destroy everything they've built together.

Highland passion meets slow-burn tension—smoldering folk ballads, sultry indie vocals, and brooding atmospheric tracks. Mix whisky-warm acoustic guitars with sensual indie-pop and cinematic strings. Think Hozier's intensity, Bon Iver's longing, and Florence + The Machine's raw magnetism.
