Books like The raider by Monica McCarty

The story opens with Robert “Raider” Boyd, one of Bruce’s most formidable warriors, whose skill with bare‑hand combat makes him a brutal enforcer of the Guard. His hatred of the English drives his quest for vengeance. During a raid, he encounters Lady Rosalin Clifford, a Scottish noblewoman who had previously rescued him from execution. Now, as a prisoner, she holds the key to his future: her brother’s life hinges on the outcome of their encounter. Bitterness and longing collide when Boyd finds himself drawn to Rosalin’s fierce empathy for justice. Their tempestuous affair blurs the line between enemy and lover, forcing Boyd to confront the possibility that love might be the very thing that saves him from an endless cycle of bloodshed. A tale of honor, war and romance set against the rugged backdrop of the Highlands, The Raider explores the human cost of conflict and the redemptive power of unexpected affection.
