The Lone Wolf's Bride

Is he to be her road to hell or her path to redemption...?

Ilene Campbell is on the brink of getting her heart’s desire. As the daughter of powerful Laird Duncan Campbell, she has the world at her feet. But when her hopes for the future are cruelly dashed and her heart broken she has no choice but to seek the protection of rugged Murray Campbell. A foundling brought up by her parents, Murray has turned out wild and rebellious and he has returned from a life as a mercenary, scarred inside and out. He wants her with a passion, but can she ever find happiness with him, especially as an awful betrayal opens up a gulf between them? Ilene must gain Murray’s trust and forgiveness if she is to bind this hard, uncompromising Highlander to her forever.

Murray Campbell has led a loveless, brutal life and has enriched himself on the battlefields of war-ravaged Europe. Returning to his Highland home of Cailleach Castle after years of self- imposed exile, he finds Scotland on the brink of a civil war. Much has changed in his absence, not least his laird’s daughter Ilene, grown up to become a captivating young woman, pretty and free-spirited. She is too good for the likes of him until an abrupt change of fortune places her within his grasp. But the beautiful stranger he takes to his bed has hopes and dreams of her own…and a terrible secret. Murray must find some warmth in his shrivelled heart if he is to claim the prize forever just beyond his reach.
