Lady Rowena Kinnaird may be the heiress to a Highland earldom, but she has never felt good enough—not for her father, not for the man she thought she’d marry, not for God. But after a shocking attack, she’s willing to be forever an outcast if it means escaping Loch Morar and the men who have jeopardized her life.
Brice Myerston, the Duke of Nottingham, has suddenly found himself in possession of a rare treasure his enemies are prepared to kill for. While Brice has never been one to shy away from manor-born ladies, the last thing he needs is the distraction of his neighbor, Lady Rowena, who finds herself in a desperate situation. But when the moody Earl of Lochabar tries to trap Brice into marrying Rowena, Brice finds he’s not as opposed to the idea as he expected to be.
Rowena wanted to escape the Highlands, but she’s reluctant to resort to marrying a notorious flirt just to gain his English home. And when she learns that Brice is mixed up in some kind of questionable business with a stolen treasure, she fears she’s about to end up directly in the path of everything she was trying to avoid.

I loved this book so much. It was not your usual romance as in the romance comes first and then everything else. It was very different and I throughly enjoyed it and could not put it down.
Rowena was such an interesting character and I LOVED the way the author captured her Scottish backroad, heritage, and lingo.
Brice was the biggest sweetheart ever and I thought that they were the perfect match. His faith and dependance on God was unbelievable and inspiring. The story had so many story plots threading and interweaving all over the place that it was such a fast paced, fresh book to read.
This is a beautiful story of pain, sorrow, hardship, and then help, mercy, forgiveness, and love. I loved watching Rowena morph into the woman that was always somewhere hidden inside of her just hidden beneath layers of pain and sadness, but watching it all peel away was amazing and made the characters seem all the more alive to me.
I would recommend this book to all christian romance lovers and am proud to have it on my shelf.
I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review.
