The Defiance of a Scottish Heart

Clans of Mull, Book 5

By: Keira Montclair

Narrated by: Paul Woodson

A forced betrothal. A deadly threat. And five years of secrets finally coming to light.

When Sheona Rankin's father announces her betrothal to Taskill MacVey—the man who's ignored her for five years—she's ready to fight. But before she can refuse, danger strikes. Someone is watching her. Hunting her. And the only man who can protect her is the one she swore she'd never forgive.

Taskill MacVey has spent five years keeping Sheona at arm's length, convinced that loving her would destroy them both. But when her life is threatened, all his carefully constructed walls crumble. To keep her safe, he'll have to stay close. To earn her trust, he'll have to reveal the devastating secret he's been hiding.

As enemies close in and old wounds reopen, Sheona and Taskill must navigate a dangerous game of cat and mouse—while battling an attraction that's burned between them since childhood. She demands the truth. He's terrified to give it. But on the rugged Isle of Mull, where clan loyalty is everything and trust is earned in blood, they'll discover that the deadliest threat isn't the one stalking them.
It's the one they pose to each other's carefully guarded hearts.

But in the wild beauty of the Isle of Mull, where autumn winds carry whispers of change, two stubborn hearts may discover that the greatest battles aren't fought with swords—they're fought with surrender.

A sweeping Scottish historical romance of second chances, forbidden longing, and the courage to claim the love you never knew you deserved.

strong and smart women

Men who think women are worthless and only good for sex and having kids absolutely irritate me. Lovely to see them get brought down by a woman.

Same old

Same old story, ambivalent boy and girl who finally come together -- in a different setting but good Scottish reader

Wonderful story

Ms Montclair is able to involve a listener to the story and make you feel like you are there.
Interesting characters and vicious villains.
The narrator is awesome. He brings each character to life .
