An uncertain bride looks for love with a man as wild and mysterious as his Highland home in this new Scottish romance from USA Today bestselling author Amanda Scott.
Ordinarily, Lady Fiona Ormiston wouldn’t think of forming an alliance with an ungroomed, barbaric Highlander, despite the protection he offers. But now, by request of the king, Sir Adham MacFinlagh, a brazen stranger and outsider unlike anyone she has met before, is to be her husband. Torn from solitude and the comfort of her family to make a home with the rugged knight, Fiona surrenders to Adham’s powerfully passionate—and shockingly tender—touch, only to discover her new husband’s family ties may lie with an enemy of the king.
A sense of duty may have brought Adham to the marriage bed, but it’s his powerful feelings for his beautiful, willful wife that will be his undoing. Ultimately, the bold knight will have to decide: Does his allegiance lie with his blood ties to the man who hopes to bring down the king or with the bride who has stolen his heart?
From the author frequently credited with creating the subgenre of Scottish romance with her Lairds of the Loch and Secret Clan series, The Reluctant Highlander is a rich historical tale of intrigue and desire.

“Mhairi Morrison uses her considerable talents to deliver this Scottish romance set in the 1430s…Morrison varies her characterizations and uses accents sharp and hard, bristly and brusque, suiting the characters well. While all the characters are said to speak most often in Scottish and Scots Gaelic, the dialogue is always in recognizably accented English. Morrison’s fluid performance draws the listener into this colorful romance. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
