Highlander’s Hidden Foes by Emilia C. Dunbar

Even the best warrior has to know who his enemy is in order to prevail…

As soon as Fenella Macleod turned 18, her life completely changed. Not knowing why, her father decided to arrange a rushed marriage and send her off to marry Laird Bruce Cormack, the leader of a neighboring ally clan. Fenella is deeply upset to be sent away from the only family she’s ever known and feels even more worried when she finds out that this is Bruce’s second marriage!

Bruce is as attractive as he is cold, and Fenella finds it hard to imagine how she will spend a lifetime with this man. However, Innes, her new sister in law, treats her with love, and Fenella is allowed to roam freely around the grounds and spend her day in any way she likes, realizing that she had been living like a nun until this day.
But what will bring the most joy to Fenella is managing to capture Bruce’s heart. And, even though it appeared to be an unachievable dream, after their first night together, it begins to seem feasible; Bruce thought that his past would not allow him to come close to a woman again, but Fenella’s touch and words help him reveal feelings that he thought had long died inside him.

But as soon as the two begin to come closer, English forces threaten their borders, and the Laird takes immediate action! Bruce feels that with the help of his alliances, he will be able to fight them off. However, his allies have other plans…

Fighting off enemies you can see is hard, but dealing with unseen foes is almost impossible. Fenella and Bruce come across a lifelong betrayal and secrets that have been waiting for years to be revealed, and they will both learn that picking the wrong friends is a lethal mistake!
