Highlander’s Forbidden Fruit by Shona Thompson

Keeping her distance from him would only bring them even closer…

One moment was all it required for Evanna MacLeod to fall in love with her father’s most trusted man. But his constant rejection makes her flee to London to heal her wounded pride.
Until a change in circumstance forces her to return to the Highlands; she is to ask permission to marry an Englishman. And in a cruel twist of fate, the man who broke her heart may be the only one who can help her convince her father.

Aleck Bryce has always dreamt of one woman in his arms. The problem? She is the daughter of a Laird, while he is just a soldier. Bound by duty, he’s determined to never act upon his feelings, but Evanna’s arrival from England rekindles dangerous flames.

Aleck doesn’t have the heart to help her wed an Englishman. And the man who has never broken the rules is about to break every single one of them.
However, Evanna is determined to honor her decision until a great tragedy strikes their clan, and she might lose both the man she loves and the one she is about to marry…

The cure of her broken heart lies in his touch…
