She’s the widow who wants nothing to do with him—and the only woman he can’t afford to lose. Keane Buchannan will stop at nothing to restore his duchy’s tarnished reputation. But his cousin’s fiery-haired widow seems determined to challenge him at every turn. Marjorie Kennedy loathes him—and he doesn’t blame her. Still, Keane can’t help wishing he could earn not just her trust… but her heart. Marjorie has long since given up on love. Her only desire is to protect her daughters and secure their future. That means avoiding Keane Buchannan at all costs—even if the sinfully handsome Highland duke is impossible to ignore. He’s arrogant, infuriating, and far too tempting for her peace of mind. But when a shared enemy threatens everything they both care about, Marjorie and Keane must set aside their differences. Working together brings them closer than either expected… and makes denying their attraction all but impossible. Can two sworn adversaries learn to trust each other with more than just a cause—or will pride and past wounds ruin their only chance at love? ____________________________________ Escape to the Scottish Highlands in this sweeping historical romance series from USA Today bestselling author Collette Cameron—where brooding warriors, fierce Highlanders, and spirited heroines surrender to love amid ancient rivalries and perilous secrets.
