Books like To Desire a Highlander by Sue-Ellen Welfonder
Lady Gillian MacGuire—bold and fiercely independent—has long rejected the promise of marriage to the older Donell MacDonnell, whom she swore never would be her husband. Five years after the engagement, Donell’s return stuns her; he seems transformed, almost unrecognizable.
While Lady Gillian anticipates an arranged union, the king’s Fenris Guard orders a new chieftain to step into the role of the deceased MacDonnell. That soldier, bound by duty, has no intention of marriage and is preparing for a fight, not a bride.
After a single kiss, their mutual attraction turns into a passionate spark that threatens the Highlander’s resolve and the soldier’s oath. Both must confront the possibility that yielding to desire could harm their honor and future.
