His Ruined Highland Bride

She was sold to him to settle a debt. He was too old, too widowed, and too tired to want her. Sorcha MacNair is nineteen when she marries Laird Cormac Ross, a man older than her own father and the bearer of a title she does not want. Ross Cairn is cold, the tenants are poor, and her husband looks through her as if she were a portrait of somebody else. But Sorcha can read a ledger, and the Ross estate ledger lies. Someone has been selling her husband's cattle from under him, and the trail ends in the one place no one will follow it: the laird's own blood. As a bitter Highland winter closes the roads, Sorcha learns that Cormac Ross is not cold — he is braced for another loss. And she decides she will not be one. A Scottish historical age gap romance of duty, weather, and a marriage that starts as a debt and ends as a choice.
