“If allowing myself to love her brought me danger, then so be it…”
After her father’s money runs out, Meredith Quinn has to do what a dutiful daughter should: marry a man she doesn’t want. Her marriage of convenience helps her parents, but that’s not the only silver lining: her husband is the most handsome Highlander she has ever met. Even though he looks ready to murder her.
Laird Ryder Higgins’ reputation as cruel does not come lightly. After he lost his entire family by murder, he realizes he knows only one thing: trust no one. But his sweet new wife doesn’t stop talking, and he wants to shut her up in more ways than one…
He intimidates anyone but her. Ryder cannot understand how this kind creature came to be his, but he starts believing in miracles. Yet, he can’t protect her from everything. Her father’s castle burns to the ground, and Meredith is devastated to lose her family home. With no roof over their head, her family comes to live with them. But the problems don’t stop…
Was the fire truly a mistake? Or is there someone behind it all?
