The Laird's Winter Rose

By Barrel Coops

When a blizzard shatters the MacRae glasshouse, Lady Elizabeth MacRae and gardener's apprentice Rory Kincaid spend one breath-held night keeping her late mother's roses alive-and wake to a season that will test every vow they've ever made. With the estate drowning in ledgers and a powerful baron offering rescue at a price, Elizabeth turns to soil, steam, and stubborn hope: hotbeds stitched from straw, market mornings stamped Winter Rose, and work that teaches the difference between being useful and being used. As whispers gather and duty sharpens into a deadline, a quiet tenderness takes root-far too precious for scandal, far too honest to ignore. Set against the heathered hills of Aberdeenshire, this closed-door, heart-aching romance is about the courage it takes to choose warmth over worry, truth over ease, and a love that grows the way roses do in winter: slowly, fiercely, and toward the light.
