The Laird's Silence: A Highland Romance

They call him the Butcher of Loch Fearna. She's just desperate enough to marry him anyway.

Isla Ferran doesn't have the luxury of choosing a safe husband. Fleeing Edinburgh with a dead man's secret hidden in her trunk and a dangerous creditor closing in, she needs a name no one will dare search under, and a husband no one will dare cross. The reclusive Laird of Blackmuir, rumored to have drowned his own bride six years ago, is exactly monstrous enough to hide behind.

But the man who opens his castle door to her isn't the killer the whole of Scotland believes him to be. He's quiet. Watchful. Carrying a grief he's never once explained, because the truth would cost someone else everything.

On their wedding night, he makes her a single, unthinkable promise: he will never touch her unless she asks him to.

What Isla doesn't expect is how badly, how quickly, she starts to want to.

As the secrets they're both hiding creep north from Edinburgh, Isla and Ruaridh must decide what's more dangerous: the past that's hunting them, or the truth neither of them has dared to say out loud.

A marriage of convenience. A reputation built on a lie. A love neither of them saw coming.

Perfect for readers who love slow-burn Highland romance, wounded heroes with hidden hearts, and heroines who refuse to be afraid.
