What readers say:
🧡“Eager to see what Ms Wolf's latest book was like, I woke up at zero dark thirty to find my pre-ordered copy arrived. So good!”
🧡“Here is a woman, beaten down, and yet she uses all this to fuel a drive to take control of her life. A beautiful empowering story.” 🧡“I loved the ending with the female character as the heroine.””“I demand that you release me immediately,” she snarled, ignoring the amused gleam that came to his eyes.
To her relief, he did as she had asked and took a step back. “Ye should head home,” he said, picking up the foil and handing it back to her hilt-first. “A storm is brewing.”
Glancing at the sky, Henrietta noticed that the clear blue sky had turned dark, heavy with grey clouds. Then she took hold of her foil and stepped back, eyes on the man who had just taught her a valuable lesson.
Complacency would be her end. She needed more practice, real practice. What she needed was a real opponent.
“Farewell,” he said, back on his black horse as though rider and steed formed a strange symbiosis. “Until we meet again.”
Mounting her mare, Henrietta stopped as his words reached her. “We will not meet again,” she snapped. “I can assure you that I will do everything within my power to avoid a future meeting.”
A smile on his face, he nodded, then softly kicked his horse and came toward her.
Henrietta drew in a deep breath and swallowed as he stopped beside her, his knee touching hers.
“We will meet again,” he said, his eyes holding hers, a promise in them that shook Henrietta to her very core. “I will find ye, Lass.” He nodded. “Be assured of that.” He held her gaze for a moment longer, then spurred on his horse and shot past her, galloping across the clearing like a warrior ready for battle.
And for the first time in her life, Henrietta was at a loss.
She was taught to expect betrayal. He was raised to believe in love. Henrietta Turner doesn’t fear battle—she’s survived worse. After a childhood marked by loss and mistrust, she’s learned to protect herself with steel and silence. Vulnerability, she believes, invites harm. Marriage was never part of her plan. Least of all to Connor Brunwood, a Scottish chief whose certainty unnerves her more than any blade.
He’s never been afraid to offer affection—he simply waits until it’s safe to receive it. Connor comes from laughter, love, and arms that never let go. So when he sees Henrietta, he doesn’t flinch. He doesn’t retreat. He steps forward—not with force, but with constancy. With kindness. With a heart that’s ready. Because love isn’t weakness. It’s strength shared between two people who dare to trust.
Her sword protects her. His gentleness disarms her. As tension crackles and truths emerge, Henrietta begins to question the walls she’s built. And Connor, patient but persistent, shows her that sharing fears doesn’t mean losing power. It means gaining partnership. Because sometimes, the bravest act is not standing alone—it’s letting someone stand beside you.
She was told the world would hurt her. He’s here to prove that love never will.
🗡️ If you’ve ever struggled to let someone see behind your armor—and longed for love that meets you there, steady and sure… this story is yours.
