BLURB:
Kieran has spent his life living in the shadow of his late older
brother. Brody had been the heir his father had loved and wanted, while Kieran
was born to a woman his father despised for her betrayal. Kieran has only ever
felt the bond of family with his best friend, Ella.
Ella
knew one day Kieran would be called on to do his duty to his clan and marry for
an alliance. But she never expected his engagement would suddenly force her to
see him in such a different way. They’d known each other all their lives, but
aside from one exploratory kiss, she had never been attracted to him as a woman
is to a man. Until now.
As
the time comes for Kieran to marry, he realizes he has feelings he shouldn’t
have for the lass who’s been by his side all his life.
When
the marriage contract is breached, Kieran hopes it means freedom for them to be
together, but instead, it leads to war and a secret that will change their
lives forever.

EXCERPT
Ella wasn’t worried there was a raid, but she knew his claim
that everything was fine was not true. Something was wrong with her best
friend. Kieran was beyond upset.
Being friends since they were old enough to walk meant she
knew him better than anyone, and right then she could tell he was as frantic as
a wounded animal.
Wiping her hands on her apron, she hurried away and followed
him outside, where he leaned over, pulling in deep breaths of warm July air.
If Ella was forced to guess, she’d say this had to do with
the laird. For only the laird could upset Kieran in this manner. The laird
never found an end to the list of grievances he held against his son for doing
nothing more than existing.
Rolfe Sinclair was a fair laird to his clan, but didn’t
often extend that same courtesy to his second-born son.
Kieran was too old to cry as he had when they’d been
younger, but she could tell it was serious all the same.
“What has happened?” she asked, reaching out to rest her
hand on the hard muscle of his shoulder.
He remained in his position, bent at the waist with his
hands braced on his knees, breathing as if he’d just run a great distance.
“I’m to be married,” he managed while heaving in gusts of
air.
She gasped and gripped his shoulder harder.
“How soon?” she asked.
