To Defy a Highland Duke by Collette Cameron

Their clans are enemies… there can never be anything between them.

He’s the laird who insulted her…
Highlander, Keane Buchannan, is on a mission. His duchy’s reputation is in tatters thanks to the long line of selfish dukes who came before him—and if he wants to repair the damage, he’ll need to mend the rift between the feuding branches of his family. Unfortunately, his cousin’s widow seems intent on making his mission more difficult. The flame-haired beauty has good reason to despise him. But Keane soon realizes just how thin the line is between love and hate … and just how badly he wishes he could cross it…

She’s the widow he can’t stop thinking about…
Marjorie Kennedy’s only mission is to be the best mother she can be to her girls. She has no interest in spending time with Keane. But when he invites her family to a Hogmanay celebration, she knows her days of avoiding the arrogant—and sinfully handsome—Highlander are over. Declining his invitation isn’t an option, but surely she can ignore the inexplicable pull of attraction she feels for him…can’t she?

An impossible love…
Though neither can deny the sizzling attraction between them, Keane and Marjorie are at odds. But when an enemy emerges and threatens everything they love, can they set aside their differences and realize that maybe their purposes—and hearts—aren’t so far apart after all?
