The Stolen Bride (The Highlander Brides) by Gina Griffin

He is her secret husband...but she is his stolen bride.

Rose Hammond has a life full of joy, even though she and her sister Olivia live in constant fear of a bitter and angry father and are sad for their loving but frail mother. Her happiness is because of one reason.

Kade Mc Conner.

Kade, second son of Ian McConner and brother to Laird Shaine McConner, has one purpose in life. To marry and protect his childhood best friend and love, Rose. Even if it means defying both of their families. When they marry, they would need to disappear.

Under the lightning tree, their promises become vows. While Rose cares for her ill mother, they wait for their time to leave. Their marriage is secret; they are husband and wife.

Until they are not.

The future of Scotland is in peril, with a new king on the horizon. When Kade abandons her, Rose makes a choice that will seal their fate and protect her and Olivia. Become someone new who no longer believes in foolish dreams.

Rosamund Fitzhugh.

But as battles uprise and the crown is decided, their anger in each other’s betrayal starts to blur, and Kade fights to claim his stolen bride.

But what if more is at risk than he realizes?
