Long ago, Kenzie McPhee was in love. She was to marry Arran, the eldest son of the McCaskills, and bring peace to their clans forevermore.
Only fate had other ideas...
Instead of peace, the two clans fell into a bloody feud. At the height of the conflict, Kenzie was spirited away to begin a new life far to the south, and after many years, the scars of her childhood faded into distant memory.
Until a letter arrives, containing an offer of peace between their families; a proposition that can only be sealed by marrying the now Laird Arran McCaskill… the very man she’d spent a lifetime trying to forget.
Is this a second chance at love, or an opening of old wounds?
Blaine McCaskill, brother to the Laird, has grown into a respected soldier, wrapped in his precious duty. It’s a far cry from his youth, where he juggled the demands of a brutal father with a secret, unrequited love for Kenzie McPhee.
So now, when he is ordered by the Laird to escort Kenzie home for the wedding, Blaine must enter a different type of battlefield, where the only enemy is himself - and the stakes are higher than he’s ever known - to ensure the fragile peace is preserved.
But with the backdrop of a greater war threatening to engulf the entire Highlands, will Blaine and Kenzie do their duty, or will a forbidden desire risk more than they could possibly imagine?
A Promise to Be Kept is a HEA historical romance of 90,000 words, set in the Scottish Highlands. It’s an exploration of love set amidst war, hope, and circumstance.
