The Return of the Lost Highlander by Alisa Adams

His past is hideous. The choices he must make are even worse.

When a shirtless Highlander, who looks more like a wild wolf than a civilized man, arrives at the doors of the Campbell estate, no one can believe that he is Dand Campbell, their long-lost leader. Dand left his home in his teen years, as he could not stand the tyranny of his mad uncle who had taken over.

Many people thought he was dead, but Dand has been trying to gather forces to overthrow his uncle. However, with the help of her new husband, his younger sister was able to remove the leech that had been draining the clan’s blood for years. bBut, now, new predators have begun cycling the clan, battling for the position of the leader.
Dand feels that everyone is hostile towards him, except for his beloved siblings and Maisie, a maid he begins to develop feelings for. Maisie is a simple lass, and even talking to a man as attractive and as powerful as Dand makes her blush. However, her considerate and generous character can charm any man even if she does not realize it. In a world of conflict and political games, Maisie can provide a bit of stability for Dand until her life turns upside down as well.

Her brother, who is a bandit and a wanted criminal, appears before her for the first time in years. Maisie would not even talk to him if he did not promise her the thing she wants the most; seeing their mother again! Her brother, just like everyone, wants to get close to Dand for his benefit, and if Maisie wants to meet her mother, she will have to help him.
Since Dand will be the new laird, Maisie knows that she can never marry him, but betraying him is not something she wants to do. Unfortunately, Dand has been lying about the years he has been away, and he also hides secrets! With danger lurking from every corner, the only thing that is for sure is that the two stand a chance to make it out alive only if they find a way to speak the truth to each other and work together.
