Author Description

He's in dire straits. She has a secret. Can they overcome all odds to be together? Gunn Burnett, Laird of Leys, has returned from war only to face a new battle, keeping his struggling inn and pub from financial ruin. The last thing he needs is another mouth to feed. But when a fragile, bruised woman shows up on his doorstep, clearly desperate and in need of shelter, he can't turn her away. Jocelyn Townsend has finally escaped her abusive husband, fleeing England for the quiet anonymity of a Highland village. Renting a small room in a failing inn is a risk, but it's safer than the life she left behind. Determined not to be a burden, she offers to work for her keep, but the brooding laird refuses her coin, and her distance. Gunn senses she's running from something. Or someone. And he'll protect her with his life before he lets the pain of her past catch up to her. But when the truth comes to light, and with it, a secret she's hidden for far too long, they'll have to face the past head-on if they hope to claim a second chance at happiness.
