THE EXECUTIONER'S HIGHLANDER: A Dark Highland Enemies-to-Lovers Romance of Blood, Betrayal and Survival Featuring a Female Executioner and a Captive Laird
WHAT'S MORE DANGEROUS? SAVING THE HIGHLANDER WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE… OR DISCOVERING THAT THE ONLY MAN CAPABLE OF DEFEATING THE TYRANT IS ALSO THE ONLY MAN CAPABLE OF BREAKING DOWN YOUR DEFENSES?Blackthorn is a fortress built on lies.
For years, Vane has ruled its walls through fear, executions, and blood.
I would know.
I'm the one who wields the axe.
My name is Margaret.
To the Highlands, I am the Executioner of Blackthorn. The woman who carries out sentences. The perfect instrument of a man I've spent twelve years wanting to see dead.
I'm not looking for redemption.
I'm not looking for forgiveness.
I'm waiting for the chance to settle a debt with the monster who destroyed my life.
Then I discover that the most important execution in the Highlands is a lie.
The man everyone believes is dead is still alive.
Chained. Wounded. Forgotten in a cell.
Kael MacCairen.
The rightful lord of Blackthorn.
Vane's most dangerous enemy.
And the man I choose to save.
I should leave him. I should let the fever, the wounds, and the chains finish the job.
But if Kael dies, Vane wins.
And I've waited too long for my revenge to allow that.
As we flee through flooded tunnels, abandoned ruins, and lands swarming with hunters, I discover that Kael is far more dangerous than I imagined.
Even weakened, he thinks like a leader.
Even hunted, he inspires loyalty.
Even at the edge of death, he's still capable of challenging me.
Outside, soldiers, spies, and mercenaries are on our trail. Betrayal could be hiding behind every hill. And every day we survive brings the Highlands one step closer to a war no one will be able to stop.
But the real danger isn't Vane.
Not the army he controls.
Not the men trying to capture us.
The real danger is learning to trust someone when your entire life has depended on trusting no one.
Because the closer we get to reclaiming Blackthorn, the harder it becomes to remember that this alliance always had an expiration date.
The Highlands are about to burn.
And when the hour of war arrives, Kael will have to decide what he's willing to sacrifice to take back his clan.
I'll have to decide whether the vengeance that has kept me alive for twelve years is worth more than the man I never should have saved.
