Highland Honor (Wild Thistle Trilogy #3)
Madelyn Hill

Lady Honor has sworn off marriage after seeing her mother’s spirit destroyed by grief. When she’s attacked in the forest, she keeps it a secret, fearing her Lairds’ retaliation. Determined to avoid harm at all costs, she shoulders the burden alone—until Bryce Calder, a brooding warrior, is assigned as her protector. Despite her growing feelings for Bryce, Honor is determined to guard her heart.
Bryce Calder trusts no woman, his father’s warnings shaping his wary view of love. Protecting the clan is his focus, not shadowing a sharp-tongued healer. Yet, Honor’s courage and compassion slowly crack his defenses, even as feelings of unworthiness hold him back from admitting his desire.
As they spend more time together, their bond deepens, but a shadow from Honor’s past threatens to expose her secret and shatter their fragile trust. Can two guarded hearts overcome fear and mistrust to claim the love they both deserve?
Secrets. Trust. Desire. In a battle between the past and the heart, will they find love—or lose everything?
