Chosen by the Highland Brute

She was chosen by the beast. Now she must tame him.

In the dark, windy Highlands, life is hard and unforgiving for the farmers and the workers, and Lorna Balfour has found this out the hard way. Coming from a wealthy father, Lorna had a good start in life until bandits slaughtered her whole family. Her uncle, who is her only living relative, has made Lorna work in the fields since she was a child, but when she turns eighteen, he decides to really put her in use...

Lorna’s devious uncle calls her back in her malnourished, thin, and exhausted state and announces to her that she will be sent to the infamous Laird Alasdair Galloway as a potential bride. Her uncle does his best to dress her up and cover up years of hard labor. But no matter how elegantly she is dressed, her hardened eyes reveal the truth; she is nothing like the other lasses.

Lorna knows she has no chance to be chosen as contrary to her noble origins, she looks like a farmer’s daughter. She has heard rumors about the fearsome Laird Alasdair, and none of them were remotely good, so the idea of returning to her harsh old life seems like the best outcome. However, Alasdair sees many women parade in front of him, but he only stops in front of Lorna.

Looking at her calloused hands, he realizes that she has worked hard in her life, and without hesitation, he chooses the only girl who did not actively try to impress him as his new wife. Lorna’s uncle is as delighted as she is shocked, but even he warns her about the brutal nature of the Highland Laird. Young, uncertain, and scared of the giant man she will now call husband, Lorna prepares for her wedding.

However, on the very first night, she learns that Alasdair’s heart is not as dark as she’d believed and that her true enemy is closer to home than she thought. In an unlikely turn of events, Lorna discovers that a member of her family might still be alive! To find out more about it, she will need to bend her beastly husband to her will, and this task will take skills that Lorna has never used before…
