The Highlander's Captive Vow: A Rugged Scottish Highlands Marriage of Convenience. Can a Forbidden Alliance Mend a Broke, (Paperback)

<p>She was a transaction. He was a debt.</p><p>When Lady Isla Campbell is sold into a treaty marriage with the most feared Laird in the Scottish Highlands, she arrives at his crumbling clifftop castle with three things: a trunk of English gowns, a journal written in cipher, and no intention of giving him her heart.</p><p>Lachlan MacLean is everything she was warned about. Massive, brooding, and deadly quiet. He speaks to her in Gaelic she cannot translate. He watches her with pale green eyes that see far too much.</p><p>But his castle hides a traitor.</p><p>When a rival clan's attack drives them into the wilderness, they take shelter in an isolated stone bothy as a Highland winter storm closes in. One fire. One furskin. One night that changes everything they thought this marriage was going to be.</p><p>She expected a political arrangement. She did not expect a man who brings her warmth without ceremony, who calls her by Gaelic endearments she cannot yet decipher, who fights like something ancient and certain and then asks nothing of her in return.</p><p>The ambush was not random. Someone inside the clan wants the peace destroyed. And the only person who has noticed what no one else has missed is the woman who was never supposed to matter.</p><p>To protect the man she has come to love, Isla must choose between the life she was given and the place where she has started to belong.</p><p>Some vows are sealed in ink.</p><p>Some are written in something that lasts far longer.</p><p>Set against the wild, storm-swept Isle of Skye in 1745, The Highlander's Captive Vow is a slow-burn marriage-of-convenience romance. A brooding alpha hero who speaks volumes in silence. A sharp-witted heroine who solves the mystery before the hero knows there is one. A Gaelic thread that unravels, one endearment at a time, into the most unexpected confession.</p><p>Perfect for readers who love forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers tension built with patience, and a love story that earns every word of its ending.</p><p>A standalone novella with a deeply emotional happily ever after.</p><p>Book One of the Highland Hearts series. Book Two, The MacKinnon's Forbidden Letter, coming soon.</p>
