Highland Secret - Historical Highlander Romance

The last thing Meredith MacDonald wants is to be married off to someone in a clan friendly with the infamous Campbell's. After a night of drink, she gets it into her head to run off and make her way to distant relatives in England. On the road a gunshot startles her horse, and in pursuit of it Meredith stumbles, almost literally, across a man called Ethan. He appears to be running away as well, and agrees to accompany her to the next inn. 

Her father's men are close behind, however, and it doesn't take long for them to catch up and drag Meredith and Ethan, who she discovers was the man she was set to marry, back to the castle. While Ethan is far from what Meredith imagined her husband would be, she still hides a secret that could turn his affections away from her and ruin the alliance that their marriage has bought.
