The Thief's Ransom
Highland chief Matthias Millington has one goal: make the English thief who destroyed his father pay for her crimes. When he intercepts Miss Cecilia Rowan's journey to confess, he offers a devil's bargain-thirty days helping him recover stolen money and decode financial conspiracies, in exchange for rescuing her endangered cousin from the same villains who framed her.
Cecilia knows she's innocent, but proving it means trusting the grief-stricken Scotsman who kidnapped her. Trapped in his remote Highland tower, surrounded by a clan that views her as their enemy, she must use her cryptography skills to unravel a web of forgery and fraud-while fighting her growing attraction to the one man who should be her adversary.
But when decoded letters reveal the devastating truth-that Cecilia was systematically framed by her own aristocratic uncle-Matthias faces an impossible choice: continue his quest for vengeance, or protect the innocent woman he's wronged and fallen for. Because saving her means condemning himself for the kidnapping that brought her here. And loving her might destroy everything he's sworn to protect.
In the wild Scottish Highlands, justice and mercy collide. Only love can heal what vengeance has broken.
