Books like Highlander Most Wanted by Maya Banks
Genevieve McInnis is held captive behind the fortified walls of McHugh Keep, a stronghold owned by a cruel laird who revels in tormenting her. When Bowen Montgomery arrives, intent on defeating the hostile clan, he encounters a defiant captive whose spirit stays unbroken. Facing impossible choices— to return to a family that believes she has died or to stay and endure a new tyrant’s oppression— Genevieve opts for a peaceful life as an abbess. Yet Bowen’s rugged allure awakens a longing within her, stirring desire and tenderness. As Bowen confronts the challenges of winning her heart, he realizes that true love requires restoring what has been taken from her— a debt that may cost him her forever. Their relationship embodies a yearning for hope in a conflict‑ridden world.
