A Heartless Laird

Vengeance fuels his heart. Compassion tests his resolve.
When Malcolm Ross inherits the title of laird, he vows to avenge his father’s brutal murder. Determined to hunt down the killer, he plunges his clan into war, refusing to let anyone stand in his way—least of all a stubborn healer whose softness he sees as weakness.

Elsbeth Muir has spent her life tending to the wounded and easing the pain of others. Though she despises Malcolm’s thirst for bloodshed, she’s inexplicably drawn to the man beneath the hardened laird—a man in need of more healing than he’s willing to admit.

Torn between duty and desire, Malcolm must decide: cling to vengeance or risk his heart for a woman whose kindness may be the only thing strong enough to break through the darkness. Will love be enough to end the war raging within him—or will it destroy them both?
