Sinopsis

A lady-in-waiting struggling to fit in.... Even after three years at Robert the BruceâÇÖs Highland court, Cairren Kennedy still feels like an outsider. Quiet and kindhearted, Cairren has fought to make a place for herself among the queenâÇÖs ladies-in-waiting when she doesnâÇÖt look like any of the other young women. A Lowlander with a French mother, her Mediterranean heritage sets her apart both by her features and her customs. When her father hints at an arranged marriage to a Highlander, Cairren fears sheâÇÖll face more discrimination when sheâÇÖs forced to make her home among strangers.áCan Cairren prove that sheâÇÖs more than what people assume? Can she create a new life where sheâÇÖs not welcome?A second son with other plans...Padraig Munro doesnâÇÖt need or want an arranged marriage because he already has the perfect woman in mind. When King Robert announces PadraigâÇÖs betrothal to the unsuitable Cairren Kennedy, Padraig refuses to open his heart to a woman who couldnâÇÖt be less of a Highland lass. Faced with a bride who canâÇÖt blend in and a family who refuses to accept Cairren, Padraig is caught between his duty to protect his gentle bride and his familyâÇÖs expectations.áCan Padraig balance the roll of husband and son when both sides couldnâÇÖt be further apart? Can Padraig put aside his preconceived notions to make his marriage work?Pushed together by royal decree, Cairren and Padraig take an instant dislike to one another.áAngry that he canâÇÖt marry the woman heâÇÖs certain he loves, Padraig leaves Cairren to navigate life in the Highlands until his clanâÇÖs resentment puts her life in danger. Cairren doesnâÇÖt trust the man sheâÇÖs ordered to share a bed with, but when threats canâÇÖt be ignored, she must turn to the man sheâÇÖd pledged her life to. Passion and desire spark between husband and wife, but outside the bedchamber, they can barely stand to look at one another.áCan Padraig accept that Cairren isnâÇÖt to blame for his lifeâÇÖs unexpected path, and can Cairren stop seeing Padraig as the enemy before the real enemy destroys their chance to build a life together?
