At The Laird's Command (Sword And Thistle 3)

Laird John Macrae is in love with a woman whose reputation he ruined. A woman he cannot keep safe unless he allows the unthinkable…

With his castle under siege and a traitor within its walls, the laird counts his days as numbered. What he wants most is to ensure the safety of his clan and the spirited Scottish lass that he loves—a simple crofter’s daughter he took for his harlot and cannot now give the protection of his name. But he believes his kinsman, Ian Macrae, can give her protection that he cannot. And to save her from enemies who would use her against him, he must find the strength within himself to give her up.

The crofter's daughter has grown accustomed to the unusual demands of her laird—a hardened highland warrior whose rough touch and domestic discipline ignites her deepest passions and fills her heart with love. But when he commands her to seduce his kinsman, she is heartbroken. Will she obey her laird—and if she does, will they ever find their way back together again?
