“The sword is gone forever?” Lilidh asked, not quite daring to believe it. She supposed a part of her thought it would never truly be gone.
“Forever,” he said.
She felt tears on her cheeks, and Mathe put his arm around her. He was right; it was fitting indeed. With the sword gone, the last ties that bound Mathe to the old laird had been severed. It was a time for new beginnings, to look towards the future, to rebuild what they had all lost. It would be a hard road, she knew, to become welcomed in the town once more, but Lilidh knew they could do it. She had a husband and a son and a house full of love, and together they could do anything.
“What will he make with it, I wonder?” Mathe murmured.
Lilidh smiled. “Whatever it is, it will be made with love.”
“Aye,” he replied, squeezing her tighter. “That it will.”

He’s a reclusive laird. She’s a warrior from the north. Together they could find happiness, or tear their worlds apart.
Laird Robert McPhee doesn’t like visitors.
Especially not when they’re moneylenders demanding payment, or the neighbouring clans trying to marry off their daughters. But although he prefers the solitude of his estate to entertaining guests, it’s becoming harder to ignore the demands of the outside world.
Until a chance encounter in the woods changes everything.
Isobel MacKay is downright sick of pompous lairds, thinking they can take what they want.
When one of them goes too far, and she’s forced to defend both her honour and her life, Isobel flees to the safety of the south. And when she crashes into Robert’s estate, she gets a glimpse of a world neither of them could ever imagine.
But lairds don’t fall in love with wild women of the forest, and certainly not those who are more comfortable with swords than sceptres.
Unless there’s a way for Robert to tame Isobel’s heart, once and for all?
