A man who fears nothing… except losing his freedom.
In the Highlands, love is the one battle neither planned to fight.
The Macinnes sisters are known throughout the Highlands — Heather for her beauty and kindness, Emma for her quiet strength, and Patience for her skill with a blade and her unyielding will.
With her sister Heather still missing, Patience has no patience for delay. Yet instead of continuing the search, she is sent to the lands of Clan McLaud to settle a growing dispute that threatens to erupt into violence.
Determined to resolve the matter quickly and return to what truly matters, Patience expects resistance.
She does not expect Hunter McLaud.
Known for his easy charm and reckless ways, Hunter is the last man Patience would trust. Yet beneath his careless reputation lies a mind far sharper than she anticipated — and a solution as bold as it is dangerous.
Marriage.
A union to bind their clans and prevent bloodshed.
Patience agrees — on her terms.
Hunter accepts — on his.
What begins as strategy soon becomes something far more complicated.
Clashing wills ignite.
Pride meets passion.
And in a union neither truly wanted, they discover a connection neither can deny.
But with war still looming and Heather’s fate unknown, Patience cannot afford to lose herself to desire.
And Hunter has never been a man to surrender his freedom… or his heart.
Three sisters bound by loyalty. Three loves that defy reason. In the Highlands, the heart does not always obey.
It was her love of reading and daydreaming that started USA Today bestselling author Donna Fletcher’s writing career. Donna gobbled up books from the time she could read. She also spent a good portion of her time lost in daydreams that took her on grand adventures. She met heroes and villains, and heroines that, while usually in danger, always found the strength and courage to prevail. She traveled all over the world and through time in her dreams. Some places and times fascinated her more than others and she would research and read all she could about that particular period and place. After a while, she simply could not ignore all the adventures swirling around in her head, she had no choice but to bring them more vividly to life, and so she started writing.
Donna continues to daydream, characters popping in and out of her head wherever she goes and filling her with tales that keep her writing schedule on overload. Donna writes romances that linger in your memory long after you’ve finished reading them.
