Their clans are enemies… there can never be anything between them.

He’s the laird who insulted her…
Highlander, Keane Buchannan, is on a mission. His duchy’s reputation is in tatters thanks to the long line of selfish dukes who came before him—and if he wants to repair the damage, he’ll need to mend the rift between the feuding branches of his family. Unfortunately, his cousin’s widow seems intent on making his mission more difficult. The flame-haired beauty has good reason to despise him. But Keane soon realizes just how thin the line is between love and hate … and just how badly he wishes he could cross it…

She’s the widow he can’t stop thinking about…
Marjorie Kennedy’s only mission is to be the best mother she can be to her girls. She has no interest in spending time with Keane. But when he invites her family to a Hogmanay celebration, she knows her days of avoiding the arrogant—and sinfully handsome—Highlander are over. Declining his invitation isn’t an option, but surely she can ignore the inexplicable pull of attraction she feels for him…can’t she?

An impossible love…
Though neither can deny the sizzling attraction between them, Keane and Marjorie are at odds. But when an enemy emerges and threatens everything they love, can they set aside their differences and realize that maybe their purposes—and hearts—aren’t so far apart after all?


Though this book can easily be read as a stand-alone, most readers prefer to read the series in order.

HEART OF A SCOT:
To Love a Highland Laird
To Redeem a Highland Rake
To Seduce a Highland Scoundrel
To Woo a Highland Warrior
A Christmas Kiss for the Highlander
To Enchant a Highland Earl
To Defy a Highland Duke
 


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Lady Marjorie Kennedy is a widow with two young,  very spirited daughters.  She's travelling up to the highlands with the rest of her brother in law's household.  Although she doesn't really like the man whose Keep they will stay at, its a big family get together for Hogmanay ,so it will be enjoyable. Last time they were there the Duke insulted her and her daughters.
Keane Buchannon  has been working hard since he inherited his title to improve the Clan's reputation.  He has a very protective streak which causes the two young women he has guardianship of, no end of aggravation.  
By holding the big Hogmanay celebration he is cementing the new relationships he is forming and bringing much needed peace to his Clan.  
This is a wonderful fast paced story.  The family connections could be confusing if you haven't read any of the previous books, but it won't take you long to sort out.  The kitties will play a very important role.  There is also a very dangerous villain in the mix.  
A very exciting read.  I loved it.
