Hunted by the Laird

She has been hiding for sixteen years. He found her in one afternoon. Ealasaid Broun was pulled from the burning hall at eleven years old and told never to say her family's name again. She has sold horses under a false name ever since — until a bounty notice bearing a name only two people alive would know drops her off a cart at a Lowland fair. The man behind the notice is Ingram. The stepbrother her father raised, the boy her family flogged for a fire he did not set, and the hunter every shire on the coast has hired at least once. He does not want her blood. He wants her memory, because the night of the fire only has two surviving witnesses and only one of them has been telling the truth. They ride the old roads together. What surfaces is not a villain at all — it is the letter, the seal, and the family Ealasaid still has left. A medieval Scottish romance of smoke and reckoning.
