The Secluded Laird (Highlands’ Poisoned Hearts #1)

Amidst the tempestuous winds that sweep through the Highlands, Mairi flees, her heart pounding as if echoing the thundering heavens above. She has known love and warmth within the walls of the convent but now she is thrust into the chaotic unknown, pursued by shadows born from her misplaced trust.

Her desperate journey leads her to the formidable fortress of Laird Lennox. The rumors whispered by the villagers speak of a man haunted by his past, a man whose soul has been marred by guilt and loss. The castle stands tall and imposing, a vigilant guardian concealing secrets buried deep within its stone walls.

Mairi finds herself facing a man whose exterior mirrors the very wildness that surrounds them; fierce, untamed, and shrouded in mystery. Will she look beyond the facade, at the wounded soul that lies beneath, at the man who longs for redemption?

Lennox is lost, consumed by a darkness that clings to him like a relentless night. He finds himself adrift, seeking solace in the isolation of his fortress hidden amidst the whispering trees. He is in desperate need of an anchor, a flicker of hope to nurture him with love.

Her kindness and unwavering spirit ignites a spark he thought was forever extinguished. But as their connection deepens, so do the dangers that surround them. The scars of Lennox’s past are not forgotten, and the ominous specter of his darkest secret threatens to consume them both. What will Mairi choose; the desire for escape or the loyalty to her heart?
