A Heart's Battle: Book I A Highland Covenant Series
When a fragile peace hangs by a thread, a Highland laird and clan chief and a Lowland lady must choose between duty... and the pull of a love neither expected.
Arabella MacIan has spent her life caught between warring clans and whispered expectations. Sent north to negotiate a covenant that could end generations of bloodshed, she arrives in the rugged Highlands with one goal-do what is required and return home with her heart untouched.
But the Highlands have a fierce way of unraveling careful intentions.
Alasdair MacDonald, laird and clan chief of Dunrannoch, is a man shaped by loss and bound by honor. He expects political maneuvering, not the quiet strength and disarming grace of the woman who steps across his threshold. Her gentleness unsettles him. Her courage stirs something long-buried. And her presence threatens to awaken a tenderness he vowed never to feel again.
When rising tensions, hidden enemies, and old feuds ignite around them, Arabella and Alasdair are drawn together by circumstance-and held together by something far more dangerous.
As alliances shift and danger closes in, the covenant meant to unite their clans may become the very thing that tears them apart. Duty demands restraint. Their hearts demand surrender.
In a land where loyalty is life and love is a risk, two souls must decide what they are willing to sacrifice... and what is worth fighting for.
