Heart of Thorns (Heart of a Highlander #7)
Rebecca Ruger
He has loved her all his life.
She dreams of a future beyond his reach.
Jacob Jamison, eldest son of Gabriel of Blackwood, has never wavered in his devotion to Elena MacTavish, the spirited daughter of Liam and Isabel. Years younger than he, Elena has always seen him as her steady protector—never as the man who has quietly loved her from afar. Now grown, she dreams of a marriage that will give her everything she’s ever a grand Lowland castle, wealth, and a love to match the devotion she’s witnessed between her parents.
But when a gathering at a Lowland ally’s hall erupts in bloodshed, Elena’s “fairy-tale” suitor proves a coward, while Jacob’s unflinching loyalty stands between her and ruin. Forced together on a perilous journey, Elena must face the thorns of her own desires and the truths she has long ignored.
Torn from the safety of their families and pursued by ruthless enemies, Jacob and Elena are thrust into a fight for survival. Desire flares in the shadows of war, but with every choice torn between duty and longing, both risk losing not only their hearts—but their lives.
