Sold to the Highland Laird: A Scottish Arranged Marriage Historical Erotic Novel

A rain-soaked auction block brings Iona to the highest bidder: Calum MacRae, the Highland laird who needs her father's alliance to stop the raids destroying his lands. She expected a rough hand and a colder bed. What she finds is a man who watches her like she is the only thing in the room worth having, and a marriage bargain that quickly becomes something neither of them can control.

Their first night, he takes his time. The tower chamber is drafty, the fire low, and he does not rush to claim what he bought. Instead he learns her - what makes her breath catch, what makes her arch into his palm, what makes her forget she was ever angry about being sold. Iona tells herself she is only submitting to protect her clan. The lie crumbles faster each night he visits her bed, each morning she wakes warm against his chest while his fingers trace patterns on her skin that feel dangerously close to tenderness.

The raids demand his attention by day. By night, he demands hers, and she gives more than she planned - her body first, then her restless, searching mouth, finally the truth of what she wants when the candles burn low. Their hunger becomes its own kind of problem. Alliances fray when lairds notice where MacRae's focus has shifted. His enemies notice too, and the peace they are supposed to be building together grows fragile as glass.

She was purchased to secure his borders. Now the only thing he cannot bear to lose is the wife who still has the power to refuse him everything - and does, sometimes, just to make him work for it.
