Christina MacKinnon is secretly relieved to be a widow. She is equally desperate to distance herself from the clan of her dead husband, but as the heir to his estate-one she needs in order to support her siblings-she must first stave off both the advances and threats of the man next in line to inherit. It seems the only person she can turn to is a nearby stranger who seems inclined to help her. But he has a request.... Freshly returned from the war, Lachlan Kincaid has one aim: to see justice served to the MacKinnons for betraying his family years ago and depriving him of his inheritance. While biding his time at a nearby inn, he discovers the death of the MacKinnon laird-whose widow has inherited everything. The way to accomplish his goal is becoming more evident, but the path is murkier than he could have foreseen. As their lives intersect, it becomes clear Lachlan and Christina have to join forces. But to do so courts more danger, and it requires a sacrifice from Christina.… (plus d'informations)

Pretty exciting story. Set in Scotland in the 1700s, so a lot stronger sense of peril than Regency England, for sure.
A widow named Christina needs protection from the nefarious clansmen of her late husband. A Highlander named Lachlan is sworn to see justice done to the same clan, who were responsible for the death of his father and the seizure of his home. Good if you like the marriage of convenience trope! First in a series, and I’m somewhat intrigued to continue it! Feels like a somewhat fresh setting compared to all the Regency-based books I often consume. ( )

This sweeping historical romance is one that will stay with me for a while! It’s the story of loss, overcoming a painful past, redemption, hope, and love. The characters were endearing and multifaceted. The villian is one of those you love to hate. There’s action, suspense, a gorgeous Scottish setting, and swoonworthy romance.

Christina’s previous marriage was filled with pain and abuse. With the sudden death of her husband, she’s now the one in control of the Dunverlockie estate. Wanting to take control of her life, she’s biding her time until her husband’s brother and the rest of the clan leave her home.

Lachlan has just returned from war and seeks to reclaim his family home he believes was stolen from him by the MacKinnons. He hides his true identity and takes a job as a stableman at the local inn. Learning that Christina has inherited everything with the death of the laird, he hopes to find a way to seek justice. Neither one is looking for romance, but as they work together to solve the mystery of Lachlan’s inheritance, they can’t help but grow closer together. Will they trust in each other and risk their hearts or will the past prove too insurmountable?

Definitely one clean historical romance you need to read! I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. The audiobook was fantastic. I loved the way the narrator distinguished each of the characters. I also loved the Scottish brogue. It was so well done. The narrator captured the accent while making it easily understandable. Highly recommend! ( )
