Love enemies to lover tropes? Love strong women tropes? Then this is the tale for you!
Scotland is awash with legends, but there is no greater legend than the warrior nuns of St. Margaret’s of Loch Doom. Founded by an order of persecuted nuns, they learned to face persecution with rage. They learned to fight those who condemned them and, two hundred years later, all of Scotland knows about the Na Ban-Teamplairean...
The Templar Nuns.
The Templar Nuns are also protectors of women and children, of those who cannot help themselves, giving the nuns a paradoxical existence. They are good to the poor and the needy, but they fight like men. But one thing is for certain – males who cross their paths don’t often survive.
Estevan dun Tarh is well aware of these fighting nuns as he travels from one of his brother’s home back to the highlands. He’s aware of them because in order to get to the gambling house known as The Butchery in a nearby town, he must pass through lands belonging to St. Margaret’s. He ends up going well out of his way, traveling along a lonely beach, until he comes across a woman in distress. Given that the order of St. Margaret’s helps women and children, he has little choice but to deliver the injured woman to their doorstep.
And nearly gets his head cut off in the process.
Anaxandra dun Muir is part of the Templar Nuns. An orphan, she has lived with them since birth. It is Anaxandra, or Annie as she has known, who nearly kills Estevan, but soon enough, his mission becomes clear. But what isn’t clear is the identity of the mysterious woman, who speaks in a different tongue. She continues to draw images of serpents in the dirt, trying to communicate, but by the time Estevan and Annaxandra realize what she is saying, danger has already arrived.
And it is deadly.
Join the most mismatched couple in Scotland as they discovery of the mysterious woman takes them through myths and legends, heartache, and finally a blazing romance that cannot be quenched.
It’s all hands on deck in the wilds of Scotland this epic Historical Romance!
