The Heather Wife: The Laird’s Redemption

Sorcha MacAlasdair, daughter of a proud Highland laird, with her quiet beauty and untameable nature, is like the wild heather that grows across the hills of her home—steadfast, resilient, and impossible to uproot. Betrothed since childhood, her marriage was forged in blood and duty, meant to end a generations-old feud. She asked for nothing and expected even less from the unwanted union—though in the quiet corners of her heart, she dared hope love might grow.

Calum MacRae resented the duty forced upon him. He saw Sorcha as a burden—a symbol of obligation, not choice. His heart belonged to Elspeth, the childhood friend whose charm and ambition promised the future he believed he deserved. Against his father’s warning, Calum chose betrayal, turning his back on the wife who bore his name in silence.

But war changes everything.

Calum returns to a home scarred by conflict, to a clan whose loyalties have subtly shifted, and to a future far different from the one he abandoned her for.

The woman he ignored—his inconvenient bride—has become the heart of the keep.

Now Sorcha, the heather he once overlooked—wild, rooted, and unyielding—is the only thing standing between him and ruin.
