He is her ruin … but she is his redemption. A gifted weaver with ambition. A reckless warrior. A love born in scandal.
Fiona Mackinnon has spent her life working in the shadows. When she’s commissioned to weave a grand tapestry for Dounarwyse Castle on the Isle of Mull, it’s her chance to claim something more.
A future built by her own hands. She will not let anyone take that from her. Least of all the laird’s eldest son. Ailean Maclean returned from war a hero—but heroes without purpose are dangerous men.
Restless. Reckless. One step from self-destruction. He doesn’t need a wife. He doesn’t want responsibility. He wants distraction.
And Fiona—sharp-tongued, fiercely talented, and unimpressed by his charm—is a challenge he can’t resist.She knows better than to fall for a man like him. One scandal could cost her everything.
But desire doesn’t ask permission. And when restraint finally shatters, the fallout doesn’t just threaten Fiona’s hard-won future—it destroys it. Now Ailean must face what he’s done.
Because claiming a woman is easy. Proving he’s worthy of her is not. And redemption demands far more than a warrior’s strength.
