Forget the ton, she's got a Highlander—danger has never been so tempting.

Sarah Mortensen, once deemed ruined by society, cares little for the whispers of the ton or her parents' disapproval. Her focus is singular: to whisk her sister and young nieces away from danger to the safety of the Scottish Highlands. But amidst her daring plans, there's more that captures her heart—a certain broad-shouldered Highlander, Keir Mackinnear, who not only rescued her but continually challenges her to speak her truth, blushes be damned. And truth be told, Sarah loves him deeply for it.

He was her unexpected hero.

Yet, as Sarah's tale unfolds like a fairytale, she can't shake the feeling that perhaps her story might not have a happily-ever-after.

Her courage drew him in.

Keir Mackinnear, second son of the Chief of Clan Mackinnear, found the unexpected in England—a fierce, indomitable love with Sarah. Offering refuge to her family seemed simple, but the path to safety is fraught with opposition. As Keir faces decisions where each choice might shatter a heart, including his own, he stands resolute not to lose the woman who embodies courage and defiance.

Escape was the plan, falling in love was the adventure.

Will their love triumph amidst trials, or will the forces against them rewrite their ending?

From the gossip of the ton to the heartbeat of the Highlands. Not every fairytale starts with a crown. Some begin with a rescue.

Some stories can be told in one book. Others cannot. This is one of those stories. For your full enjoyment we recommend to start with book one, FLAMES OF WINTER.
