The McTiernay brothers will always be able to depend upon Brodie Dunstan’s loyalty, his sword, and his strength. But there is another kind of bond—one that can fell even a fearless warrior . . .
Brodie Dunstan was an honored McTiernay commander when he agreed to leave and help an allied clan. Eight years later, he’s back among the McTiernays at Lochlen Castle, yet despite the welcome, Brodie feels he’s still searching for his rightful place. The moment he rescues a storm-soaked young woman on the road to Lochlen, he wonders if he’s found it . . .
From nun to killer to royal spy, Shinae Mayboill has had little choice in her life’s path so far. Now, caught in a compromising position with Brodie after her rescue, she’s ushered into a hasty marriage. To her surprise, Brodie is unlike any man she has ever met, with a tenderness that belies his powerful persona. Their passion deepens every day. But when Brodie learns the truth about her past—and the real reason she has come to Lochlen Castle—will there still be room for her in the Highlander’s heart?

A forced marriage drives Sinclair's steamy ninth McTiernay Brothers romance (after How to Marry a Highlander), set in the picturesque 14th-century Scottish Lowlands. Swoon-worthy warrior Brodie Dunstan has returned to serve as a guard at Laird Colin McTiernay's Lochlen Castle after being abruptly dismissed as presumptive heir to Highland chief Mahon Donovan, and he's chafing at the loss of status. When he stumbles upon a drenched Shinae Mayboill, a former nun turned deadly spy who's escaped an English raid to bring crucial anti-English information to Lochlen, Brodie rescues her from the rain, bringing her to a convenient hut to dry out. When Laurel, the clan chieftain's vigilant wife, discovers them in this compromising position—both stripped of their wet clothes—she demands that they be married immediately. From there, episodes of superheated marital bliss alternate with political intrigue and scenes of arrogant men learning to value their commonsensical women. Sinclair's Scotland is as lusciously portrayed here as the characters' swirling kilts and throwaway kirtles. It's a fun and frisky time.
