She was jilted at the altar, handed off like a debt, and sent north to a Highland stranger.
The morning Cecily Winthrop stood waiting in an ivory gown while the pews filled and the altar stayed empty, she wasn’t only losing a groom. She was losing the last shred of the future she’d been promised. By nightfall, her father had replaced one humiliation with another — she would travel to Scotland at dawn, payment for a life debt owed to a laird she’d never met, in a land that wanted nothing to do with English women. Especially English women who came south-soft, empty-handed, and unwanted.
What Cecily didn’t know — couldn’t know — was that Finlay MacKenna didn’t want a wife any more than she wanted to be one.
This is a slow-burn romance that earns every moment of heat — two people shaped by betrayal and loss, learning to trust in the most unlikely place, in the most unlikely time. Cecily’s journey from humiliated cast-off to healer, wife, and finally MacKenna is not a fairy tale. It is hard-won, aching, and real. Dual POV. A hero who carries his grief like a second scar. A heroine who refuses to be erased.
For readers who want to feel every page — the cold stone, the peat smoke, the moment a man who swore never to love again reaches across the dark and finds someone worth the risk.
If you love Scottish historical romance that goes deep — fierce heroines, wounded heroes, and love that costs something to claim — Rejected Bride Gifted to the Highland Wolf will stay with you long after the last page.
