A HIGHLAND VOW

A HIGHLAND VOW The Duke of Glenross Takes a Bride Torquil Drummond, Duke of Glenross, has one rule: no love matches. With his family’s crumbling Highland estate on the line and a grandmother’s ultimatum ringing in his ears, he needs a wife of convenience — sensible, unromantic, and gone from his life the moment duty is satisfied. Lady Cassandra Pemberton needs the same thing, for reasons entirely her own. A scandal threatens to ruin her family, and a swift, loveless marriage to a reclusive Scottish duke offers the one thing London can’t: distance, and a fresh name to hide behind. Both arrive at the altar certain of the arrangement. Neither expects Glenross — its cold stone halls, its fierce loyal tenants, its brooding duke — to slowly, stubbornly become home. But an old debt is coming due. A lowland baron with a decade of patience and a grudge disguised as business is closing in on the estate, and on the legitimacy of their marriage itself. As secrets from Torquil’s father’s past surface and the fight moves from the Highlands to an Edinburgh courtroom, Cassandra and Torquil must decide whether the vow they made for sense was ever really just that — or whether it’s become the truest thing either of them has. A slow-burn marriage of convenience romance of muddy boots, guarded hearts, and a Highland glen worth fighting for.
