Abandoned & Protected

In her hands, a blade is more than a weapon; it's her voice. Henrietta Turner never wanted a husband—her sword is her partner, her independence her pride. But when she discovers her uncle has promised her to Connor Brunwood, a formidable Scottish chief, her world is turned on its head.

He's ready to melt the ice queen's heart. Connor, driven by a fierce certainty, defies Henrietta's rejections and secures her uncle's agreement. He is a man who usually honors consent, yet in Henrietta, he sees a once-in-a-lifetime love that demands a bold gamble.

Her scowl might keep suitors at bay, but not the stubborn Scotsman. As they clash in a fiery dance of wills, Henrietta battles to preserve her freedom, while Connor fights to win her heart. Two strong spirits, challenging each other at every turn—could love be the unexpected victor in their duel of destinies?
