Books like Defiant by Pamela Clare
Major Connor MacKinnon, a starkly cynical soldier stationed in 18th-century Scotland, detests his commander, Lord William Wentworth. When Shawnee forces seize Wentworth’s niece, Lady Sarah Woodville, Connor is ordered to rescue her. He expects to find another contemptible woman, but instead encounters a brave and stunning Sarah in peril. The only way to free her lies in Connor confronting the Shawnee warrior who captured her—a confrontation that forces him to wrestle with duty, honor, and his emerging affection for Sarah. Set amid the rugged Scottish landscape and the conflict with Shawnee tribes, the novel blends historical backdrop, romance, and action.

There were many things Tana didn't know.
She didn't know why her father, whose ranch had been so prosperous, had failed. Whether it had been drought, disease or debts. Nor was she sure that she could turn things around.

By the time Tana realized she was wrong, it was too late to take back her heart...
