Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Two wounded souls. One shocking night of intimacy. A lifetime commitment neither wants. Or do they?

American-born ne’er-do-well Brendan Cavanaugh never wanted a title, a child, or a wife. So he does what he’s always done under pressure: runs. A brief escape to the Scottish Highlands is just what he needs… until one impulsive encounter with a sharp-eyed, headstrong beauty upends his plans.

Callista Ainsworth once believed in love. But after betrayal shatters her hopes, she’s done with fantasy. Determined to reclaim her dignity in the Highlands, she never expected to risk her heart again—least of all for a rakish stranger with secrets in his eyes.

Callie demands honesty, even when it hurts, while Bren hides behind half-truths and charm.

But secrets once unearthed demand reckoning… and a love worth risking all.
