Elizabeth by Keira Montclair

He’s an orphan with no title. She’s the daughter of the most powerful man in Scotland. Is their secret relationship doomed from the start?

Elizabeth Grant has a secret. For six moons, she’s carried on a torrid relationship with Gil, one of the orphans raised by her cousin Loki at Castle Curanta. She loves Gil, but she’s not ready to marry, and he has reasons of his own to put off a wedding, including his doubt that her father, the great Alexander Grant, would ever accept him as a viable match. There’s one problem with their arrangement—Elizabeth’s parents are encouraging her to marry, and some of her suitors are not so easily put off.

Gil hopes to prove himself worthy of Elizabeth so their doomed dance can come to an end, but he doubts he’ll ever succeed. Then he’s injured on a mission for Loki, and his love rushes to his side, their secret suddenly revealed to all. True happiness seems within their grasp, if Gil can only heal, when something unthinkable happens. With their lives and love hanging in the balance, Gil must fight for his lass—with Alexander Grant at his side.
