Highlander’s Unforeseen Danger by Olivia Kerr

In a world of malevolence, innocence is not forgiven.

Laird Maxwell Sinclair has no interest in finding what people call “love,” and his sole purpose has been to produce an heir for his clan. Thus when a suitable wife is found, he does not hesitate a moment to break an affair he had with a Lady of the royal court.
Ffion Mackay loves her way of life close to animals and nature, and as a second daughter, she never expected to have to replace her sister and marry… a Laird! Even worse, as soon as she meets Laird Maxwell, she thinks she stepped into the past century; He is an attractive but rough man with long ruffled hair, wearing the traditional kilt at all times, and with manners as old fashioned as his looks.
Ffion is able to resist his devilish looks, as she has no plans of being the biddable wife he wishes for, and decides to have as little to do with her husband as possible. Maxwell meets such a strong woman for the first time in his life, and he slowly begins to reveal a kindness he has been hiding under his stern demeanor.
The Laird seemed like a man with no weakness, but now that he appears to have found one, Ffion is in more danger than she could even imagine. In a world of animosity and hate, a young lass like Ffion can not tell friend from foe, and the question is one; should she follow her heart and risk for the ambiguous Highlander?
