The Highlander's Harlot (Sword and Thistle 1)

When her father is to be hanged by the laird, young Heather pleads for mercy. As a poor crofter’s daughter, Heather doesn’t have anything to offer the but her maidenhead—a payment Laird John Macrae is willing to take in exchange for her father’s life.

The laird intends to ruin her, to shame her father as punishment for his crimes. But when Heather returns to the castle to be debauched by the laird and his men, she finds that the laird is unexpectedly kind and protective.



Strangely reluctant to take what she’s offered, he warns that she won’t like the man he becomes in the bedchambers. But he’s awakened desires inside her that she never knew existed. Between lust and loyalty, Heather finds the courage to prove to the laird that whatever his darkest desires, she is the only woman who can fill them. And that his needs, no matter how depraved, can’t scare her away.
