THE HIGHLANDER’S PRISONER

HE UNCOVERED HER SECRET.
SHE UNCOVERED THE LIE BEHIND HER MISSION.
AND BETWEEN THEM STANDS A MAN WHO CAN TURN PEACE INTO A DEATH SENTENCE.

My name is Nell.

At least, that's what I call myself. Marsaili isn't my real name, either—the name of a Perth widow who brews remedies for the women of Glenvar Castle. Nor is Lady Eleanor Gray, the English gentlewoman whose name appears in documents that should never have existed.

For twelve years, I've been learning to become whoever other people need me to be.

Pick locks. Remember faces. Steal secrets. Lie without batting an eye.

Sir Anselm Gray taught me all of it. He took me in when I was a child, gave me a home, and turned me into his finest spy.

Now he's sent me to the Highlands to uncover the plans of Faolan, the laird of Glenvar.

There's just one problem.

The raid I'm supposed to prevent doesn't exist.

And when I discover what the laird's letters really conceal, I begin to suspect that my true mission isn't to save lives at all. It's to start a war.

Faolan has discovered who I am.

I've broken into his chest. Read his secrets. Tried to escape across a frozen loch, only to end up with an injured ankle and the very man I deceived crawling across the ice to keep me from drowning.

I should hate him.

Instead, the laird of Glenvar has begun asking questions I don't know how to answer.

And looking at me as though, beneath all my lies, there might be a woman worth knowing.

But Faolan has secrets of his own.

His sister is being held captive by the English. For two years, he's been negotiating an exchange and a truce that could finally end a bloody war. If he fails, he'll lose both his family and his people.

If he succeeds, someone will have to give up feeding the hatred that has kept the fighting alive.

And that someone has no intention of letting it happen.

Sir Anselm is coming to Glenvar with an embassy, a prior, and a smile I've known since childhood. The man who taught me how to survive is also the only person who knows who I was before I became his spy.

And now that I'm beginning to uncover the truth about my past, I no longer know what frightens me more: what my captor might do to me… or what the man I've always called Father is capable of doing.

Because there's one truth Faolan still doesn't know.

The woman he holds prisoner may be the key to saving his home.

Or the very weapon his enemies need to destroy it.

An English spy with too many names.
A proud Scottish laird who trusts no one.
A truce on the brink of disaster.
A love that may not survive the truth.

If you love clever, resourceful heroines who can hold their own, proud and fiercely protective Highlanders, forced proximity, family secrets, enemies who begin to trust each other, and historical romance where every truth has the power to change everything, step into Ana Montoya's Highlands.

Because sometimes, the man who holds you prisoner is the first person who gives you the freedom to choose who you want to be.

And sometimes, finding out your true name means facing the man who stole it from you.

CAN NELL DISCOVER WHO SHE REALLY IS BEFORE HER PAST DESTROYS THE MAN SHE'S BEGINNING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH?

UNCOVER THE TRUTH. DEFY DESTINY. FALL IN LOVE WITH A HIGHLANDER.
