Highlander’s Hidden Scars by Olivia Kerr

She thought no one would ever love her. Until she met him.

Fiona Mckenzie has been physically and emotionally scarred by the fire that killed her parents. All that is left now is their memory and the vast fortune she inherited.
Unfortunately, the people close to her, instead of helping her fill the gap in her heart, have always resented the scarred lass that has so much wealth and yet lives a simple life.
At last, Fiona decides to move to the King’s castle, under his protection and is told that the royal couple will help her find a suitable match. Fiona will travel with some of the King’s best guards, but being around men seems unfamiliar and makes her feel uncomfortable and exposed.

Among them, she meets Anthony Mcdonald, a battle-hardened warrior that makes women’s heads turn everywhere he goes. Surprisingly enough, Anthony seems to bond with Fiona, and for the first time, she feels secure and even happy at times!
But how can she be sure that this guard is truthful and is not going after her wealth? As she rejects every potential match, she falls more and more for Anthony, even if everyone suggests that he wants to take advantage of her!

Fiona wants to listen to her feelings, but she knows that her heart is so fragile that one more crack will break it forever.
