Taming the Highland Widow

She has been a widow for three months. She has been alone for five years. He has been waiting for a decade. Fiona MacAllan is twenty-nine, mistress of a Highland keep she never wanted, holding it together with her teeth. Duncan Ross is forty-six, the tenant her late husband hired to manage the far pastures, and the only man in the glen who has ever told her the truth. Her husband's brother wants the estate. He wants her married off to a neighboring clan. He is willing to burn a barn, forge a will, and drag her off the road to get it. Fiona is going to fight him. Duncan is going to fight with her — and he is going to do it without ever asking her to be grateful. He is old enough to be her father. He has loved her for a decade. He has never once presumed. Some men are patient. Some men are already home.
