Publisher Description
Arranged marriages are so three centuries ago. But that doesn't stop Afton Lennox from being bound by one. All her life she's been pledged to wed Connor MacKean. It's the only way to save both their families' estates, and they're friends, after all, so it won't be that bad. Right?
Hamish Colquhoun has spent his entire adult life trying to find a way to liberate his best friend from a marriage he doesn't want. If it also spares the woman he's secretly loved for years, it's of no mind to him. He's already got a wife and family of his own. Freeing them both is just the right thing to do.
But with the wedding just days away, time is running short. Afton and Connor are prepared to do their duty, fulfilling the pact made by their long-dead ancestors. There's one option Hamish hasn't mentioned. It would only buy some time at best and risk everything at worst. But as Afton begins to question everything, Hamish finds he can't stay silent.
God save them all.
Customer Reviews
Good Intro to this series.
In some respects. This book is the opposite of a romance book. Two people who live on large lands in Scotland have to marry one another as part of a 300 yr old pact each of their families made. They are not in love and don’t want to marry.
Perfect prequel teaser - I am excited to read the series
This is a prequel novella teaser set up to the Kilted Hearts series. It ends on a cliffhanger. As long as you understand that, you’ll enjoy the brief taste. It introduces us to Afton, Hamish, Connor and Kyla and the three hundred year old marriage pact that must be fulfilled in order to retain the ancestral land for two families. This teasing taste was well written and engaging. I am excited to see how the stories for these characters play out.
Good thing it was free
This hardly qualifies as a prequel/novella. It’s barely two chapters.
