The Laird's Forbidden Lady
(2026)(The first book in the Highland Rebels & Roses series)
A novel by Aileen Adams
Clan laird Alistair MacLeod rules with iron resolve while the Jacobite uprising tightens its grip on every glen.
Then the sea delivers Lady Evelyn Harrington, an English noblewoman half-drowned and stubbornly silent about why she risked the crossing. His people see a spy. His rivals smell weakness. Alistair should send her south and lock his heart behind stone.
Instead, he keeps her under his roof and under his watch. Evelyn meets suspicion with steel, then earns trust with healing hands, tending the wounded and refusing to bow. Each heated argument turns into a charged quiet, his voice rough at her ear, hers daring him to admit what he wants.
But a hidden letter and a council of clans can shatter them both. If Evelyn’s secret breaks free, Alistair must choose: the honor that built his name, or the woman who could unmake it.
Genre: Historical Romance
