“Ye dinnae want yer Laird to lose control of himself, lass.”

At the MacFadden matchmaking feast, Lady Innes Anderson never expects to catch the eye of the one man she shouldn’t—Laird Lachlan Fraser, the warrior scorned by her brother’s bride.

Lachlan seeks no love, only a strategic marriage to strengthen his clan. Claiming Innes is the perfect retaliation. Yet, the beautiful lass who would risk everything for her family soon stirs something far more dangerous than vengeance.

What begins as a calculated union ignites into a passion neither can deny. And when shadows from Lachlan’s past threaten her life, she becomes the only thing he cannot afford to lose.
