Banished & Welcomed: The Laird's Reckless Wife (Book 14)

He lives for his people. She arrives with a past that could unravel them both. Laird Cormag MacDrummond has built his life on sacrifice. Duty before desire, clan before self. But Moira Brunwood’s arrival stirs a longing he’s buried for years. Branded traitor, sent away for a vision that fractured her clan, Moira isn’t looking for redemption—but she might find something far more complicated: belonging.

She expects cold walls. He offers quiet warmth. In exile, Moira carries the weight of guilt and the ache of isolation. Yet Cormag’s steadiness cracks through her pride. Slowly, with caution and unexpected tenderness, they begin to reach for each other—two people shaped by responsibility, now daring to hope that love might be worth the cost.

Mistakes don’t make you unworthy. They make you human. As Moira's presence challenges old loyalties and Cormag grapples with a choice between duty and heart, they learn that forgiveness doesn’t erase the past—it honors the effort to move beyond it. And sometimes, happiness comes not from doing what’s expected… but from choosing each other anyway.

She misjudged her path. He stood at a crossroads. And this time, neither walks away.

🔥 If you’ve ever feared your mistake was unforgivable—and longed for someone who sees past it to the person you’re trying to become… this story is yours.
