About this ebook
He was raised to honor truthâeven when the world doesnât. Keir Mackinnear never imagined heâd help kidnap a baronâs daughter, least of all at the request of a scheming dowager countess. But when he whisks Sarah away to a woodland cottage tucked deep in the quiet, he sees more than a fugitive bride. He sees a woman learning, slowly and painfully, to ask what she wantsâand believe she deserves it.
They both feared disappointment. But love asks for bravery, not perfection. As snow gathers around them, so do questions Sarah has never dared voice. And Keirâsteady, patient, endlessly kindâbecomes the answer she never expected. But freedom carries consequences, and the heart doesnât always wait for certainty. Sometimes it moves, simply and surely, toward the one person who helps you become yourself.
Because escaping isnât just about runningâitâs about choosing where to land. And love, once chosen, makes no apologies.
If your favorite romances begin not with perfection but with broken pieces and the courage to piece them together, this one will speak your language.
Some stories can be told in one book. Others cannot. This is one of those stories.

About the author
đ About Me
Hi, Iâm Bree Wolfâa USA Today bestselling author, former academic, and life-long lover of stories. I studied English and Specialized Translation, wandered the halls of universities, spending more years than I should have trying to be reasonable.
Eventually, that quiet, persistent voice in my head said: Itâs time to write. Iâve since published over fifty historical romances, each one stitched together from pieces of my own heart: doubts, regrets, fears, and messy, hopeful dreams.
I love chocolate (especially when chapters get emotional), cry far too easily at my keyboard, and have a deep spiritual bond with cats⌠which is tragically one-sided, as Iâm terribly allergic. A lifelong heartbreak, truly.
đ About What I Write
I write love storiesânot the tidy kind with perfect timing and easy resolution.
My stories are about the hearts that ache a little louder, fall a little later, and carry more than they ever expected to. Youâll meet heroines whoâve been hurt, heroes who protect with patience, and love that heals in slow, steady pulses.
Whether set in Englandâs ballrooms, Scotlandâs wild highlands, or time-tossed ruins, these are journeys of emotional courage. Theyâre layered, sincere, and full of the kind of hope you find after everything else. My romances arenât escapeâtheyâre refuge.
â¤ď¸ About Why I Write
At their core, my books are love lettersâto anyone whoâs ever doubted they were enough, struggled to be seen, or wondered if healing would ever come. I draw from personal experience, yesâbut mostly I write for connection. For restoration. For the reader flipping pages late into the night, whispering please let them be okay.
My settings shiftâRegency England, Scottish Highlands, sometimes a little magicâbut the heartbeat stays the same: tenderness. Bravery. Love that doesnât fix you, but walks with you while you become who you were meant to be.
And if any part of my stories finds a place in your own⌠then Iâve written what I was meant to.
