Shield of Fire

She fled a wedding, only to be caught by a Highlander.

England, 1804: On the brink of an oppressive wedding, shy Sarah Mortensen did the unthinkable—she escaped into the night and into the arms of Keir MacKinnear, a dashing Highlander whose presence alone is enough to spark scandal across the English ton. Now, free from the cruel fiancé yet labeled unmarriageable, Sarah's life is imbued with a new, thrilling unpredictability.

He meant to protect her—nothing more.

Keir MacKinnear, rugged and adventurous, initially crossed into England on a straightforward errand for the Dowager Countess of Whickerton. Unexpectedly, he finds his fate intertwined with Sarah's, the delicate woman who turned her back on society's expectations in a bold bid for freedom. As he commits to ensuring her safety, a sudden plea for help from her sister propels them both into a daring new adventure.

Guarding her was his intention, falling for her was not.

Together, Sarah and Keir navigate through the lush, rolling hills of England, their journey deepening a bond that defies the rigid norms of their worlds. Yet, as they grow closer, the call of Keir's Scottish heritage becomes harder to ignore. Each moment they share is a reminder that their time together is running out.

Will their blossoming love survive Keir's inevitable return to Scotland, or will it dissolve like mist over the moors?

Ruined? Perhaps. Rescued? Absolutely. In love? Undoubtedly.
