The Highlander’s Kiss by D.K. Combs

Blayne “Blay” Shaw is a woman graced with beauty, passion, and a painful secret that haunts her mind. The daughter of The Lion, she is used to being revered and protected, until she makes a fatal mistake that sends her life wayward-and into a situation she never thought she would be put in; being kidnapped. Through sheer desperation and fury, she retaliates against her attackers and escapes, not realizing that her actions hold a dark consequence.

Finding a drunk woman, stumbling around the woods she had just set aflame, is not what Alec McGregor expected to see when he is warned of danger. Assumed to be a rake who seduces anything with legs, Alec has a reputation that deceives his calculative mind-and his love of solving mysteries, which is precisely what this inebriated woman gives him…until things turn from chaotic to dangerous. No longer is Alec trying to figure out who she is, but now he’s faced with helping her come to terms with her past-and faced with coming to terms with his own feelings for a woman who could not be more wrong for him.

When Blay realizes her family is in true danger, they begin to realize their feelings for each other are growing, yet their battles are different. Alec wants nothing more than to help the insane woman he’s come to care for, but when she won’t accept his help with even the slightest task, her stubbornness may drive her right into the arms of danger itself.
