He loved her in her quietest moments—and stands beside her in every loud one. Keir Mackinnear never doubted Sarah’s courage. Not when she defied a life chosen for her, and not now, when joy is finally within reach. But when a threat resurfaces from the shadows, aiming once again at the people she holds dear, Keir knows this isn’t just their fight. Because Sarah is no longer alone.
Family isn’t just blood—it’s those who show up when it matters. The MacKinnears stand fierce and unwavering, bound not by convention but by heart. And back in England, the Whickertons stir—led by Grandma Edie, who once orchestrated Sarah’s fake abduction to save her from a forced match. She did it for love then, and she’ll do it again. Because when happiness is threatened, Edie doesn’t negotiate—she mobilizes. After all, family protects their own. And Sarah is theirs.
She was never meant to be a heroine. But love made her bold. And family made her unstoppable.
If you believe love shouldn’t erase your past—but help you write a gentler future—this tale will honor it.
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.
💐 About Me
Hi, I’m Bree Wolf—a 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: It’s time to write. I’ve 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 I’m terribly allergic. A lifelong heartbreak, truly.
📚 About What I Write
I write love stories—not 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. You’ll meet heroines who’ve been hurt, heroes who protect with patience, and love that heals in slow, steady pulses.
Whether set in England’s ballrooms, Scotland’s wild highlands, or time-tossed ruins, these are journeys of emotional courage. They’re layered, sincere, and full of the kind of hope you find after everything else. My romances aren’t escape—they’re refuge.
❤️ About Why I Write
At their core, my books are love letters—to anyone who’s ever doubted they were enough, struggled to be seen, or wondered if healing would ever come. I draw from personal experience, yes—but mostly I write for connection. For restoration. For the reader flipping pages late into the night, whispering please let them be okay.
My settings shift—Regency England, Scottish Highlands, sometimes a little magic—but the heartbeat stays the same: tenderness. Bravery. Love that doesn’t 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 I’ve written what I was meant to.
