This Scottish regency romance featuring an English lady and a Scottish highlander penned by USA TODAY bestselling and HOLT Medallion winning author Bree Wolf proves that you can fight love, but it’ll be a fight you cannot win.

Scotland 1805: On his way to claim his late father’s title, highland chief CONNOR BRUNWOOD, stumbles upon an English lass in a deserted clearing. She’s dressed like a man, in shirt and breeches, her blond tresses hidden under a large hat and a foil in her hand, as she practises the art of sword-fighting.

Awed by the sight of her spirited, blue eyes, and graceful, yet alluring movements, Connor calls her bluff, vowing that he will make her his wife.

However, that is easier said than done.

Weary of men and their intentions, HENRIETTA TURNER lives and plays by her own rules alone. So far she’s thwarted every marriage proposal to come her way - though gentlemen aren’t exactly beating down her door. Her scowl and outright manner have sent even the most steadfast of them running for the hills.
Good riddance, for Henrietta is hell-bent on remaining unwed.

However, her plans come to an abrupt halt when a devilishly disarming highlander discovers her secret hideout. Undeterred by her rejection, Connor goes over her head to her uncle and secures her hand in marriage.

Outraged, Henrietta is determined not to bend her head to this savage brute from the north, whose crooked smile and knowing eyes make her pulse race in a most disturbing and highly inconvenient way. Still, the walls she’s built around her heart begin to crumble as she struggles to resist his keen wit and gentle strength.

Sensing her wounded heart, Connor is resolved to break through her defences, and soon Henrietta will find herself swept off her feet by her dangerously attractive husband and the kind heart he offers her in exchange for her own.

If you like marriage of convenience stories with a touch of mystery, a dash of humour as well as deep, heartfelt emotions, then you’ll love this installment of Bree Wolf’s emotionally charged Love’s Second Chance Series. Get ABANDONED AND PROTECTED, grab a cup of tea, settle into your favorite reading spot and start this swoon-worthy romance now!

Each love story in this series can be read as a stand-alone. However, most readers prefer to read them in order.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Read an excerpt:

All noise was drowned out by the blood rushing in her ears as Henrietta stood in the clearing, staring at the bear of a man who had just now unmasked her, a delighted smirk on his face. His eyes slid over her in frank perusal, touching not only her lips and the curve of her neck but also venturing lower.

Refusing to be intimidated, Henrietta took a deep breath and squared her shoulders, her right hand coming forward, bringing the foil with it.

Instantly, his eyes snapped up to meet hers. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it not unusual for an English lass to ride out on her own?" he asked,amusement curling his lips. "And with a weapon no less?"

Henrietta's mouth pressed into a thin line as her eyes narrowed. "Maybe you are less acquainted with English customs than you think, my lord."

Smiling, he took a step closer, his eyes drilling into hers. "I doubt that," he whispered, and his breath brushed over her skin, making her shiver."Ye've done yer best to conceal that ye're a woman," he continued, his eyes sweeping over her form as though trying to glimpse beneath her clothes, "which means that someone would be verra displeased with ye if he were to find ye this way." He met her eyes. "And yet, ye are here."He nodded. "This is important to ye."

Henrietta swallowed,suddenly acutely aware of the powerful man towering over her. Although she was tall for a woman, he seemed like a giant, and Henrietta had to admit that she was no match for him. That thought coincided with the realisation that they were, indeed, alone.

What she had considered an asset had now turned into a threat. What did he want?

"There's no need to be scared," he said, his eyes never leaving hers. "I mean ye no harm."

"I am not," Henrietta hissed, forcing herself not to take a step backwards. "However, I would appreciate it if you got back on your horse and left."

Again, a smile curled up the corners of his mouth. "Ye're willing to let me leave? Are ye not afraid I might betray yer secret?"

Henrietta tensed. Would he? Or rather could he? After all, she hadn't even given him her name. So, how on earth was he to find her? "You are not from these parts," she mumbled, considering her options.

He laughed. "What gave me away, lass?"

Gritting her teeth, Henrietta fought the urge to run him through. And yet,despite his mockery, his words felt like a caress, and she shivered at the term of endearment.

In all her years, no man had ever unsettled her the way this brute did. From what she could tell, no man had ever wanted to. Curt words and harsh replies had always been her best defence against the opposite sex.

Maybe in his country, people did not consider civility a requirement for proper communication.

"Have ye made up yer mind?" he asked, clearly amused with the situation.

Raising her gaze to meet his once more, Henrietta took a slow step forward, her eyes cold as steel as she spoke. "Leave. Now." She lifted her foil,just barely, but his eyes caught the movement, and instantly, his hand shot out, twisting the foil out of her hand.

Henrietta gasped as he dropped the weapon to the ground and grabbed her. Forcing her chin up, he looked deep into her eyes. "Ye still have a lot to learn," he whispered, his gaze dropping to her lips, "but I'd love to teach ye."

As a shiver went through her, Henrietta swallowed and forced herself to remember what she had taught herself. "I demand that you release me immediately," she snarled, ignoring the amused gleam that came to his eyes.

To her relief, he did as she had asked and took a step back. "Ye should head home," he said, picking up the foil and handing it back to her hilt-first. "A storm is brewing."

Glancing at the sky, Henrietta noticed that the clear blue sky had turned dark, heavy with grey clouds. Then she took a hold of her foil and stepped back,eyes on the man who had just taught her a valuable lesson.

Complacency would be her end. She needed more practice, real practice. What she needed was a real opponent.

"Farewell," he said, back on his black horse as though rider and steed formed a strange symbiosis. "Until we meet again."

Mounting her mare, Henrietta stopped as his words reached her. "We will not meet again," she snapped. "I can assure you that I will do everything within my power to avoid a future meeting."

A smile on his face, he nodded, then softly kicked his horse and came toward her.

Henrietta drew in a deep breath and swallowed as he stopped beside her, his knee touching hers.

"We will meet again," he said, his eyes holding hers, a promise in them that shook Henrietta to her very core. "I will find ye, lass." He nodded. "Be assured of that." He held her gaze for a moment longer, then spurred on his horse and shot past her, galloping across the clearing like a warrior ready for battle.

And for the first time in her life, Henrietta was at a loss.

***

As London came in sight, Connor slowed down his gelding, watching the sunset on the horizon as it cast a warm glow over the city. Drenched from head to toe, he smiled. The downpour had been exactly what he had needed, and for the first time since his father had died, Connor looked into the future with a happy heart.

He had asked for excitement. He had gotten more than that. A lot more.

Yes, he would ride into London. He would do as Mr. Granten had instructed, and he would claim his father's titles.

However, before he returned to Scotland, he would claim something much more valuable to him than anything he had ever laid eyes upon.

Remembering the fierce look in her eyes, Connor chuckled. She was a wildcat, not a proper lady, and he wouldn't have her any other way.

Despite his slightly advanced age, Connor had never been married, and although his parents' match had been arranged, they had developed a deep love for one another, and, therefore, they had never pressured him to choose a bride let alone chosen one for him.

As was customary in his family,marriages were often arranged between cousins, and before today, while he had not been looking forward to wedding his cousin, Connor had had no objections.

Today, however, had changed everything.

An almost impossible love
Henrietta and Connor met by accident (or was it?)...for him it was love at first sight, but Henrietta hated and distrusted all men. Could Connor's love banish her fear and nightmares? I loved the storyline, but was slightly disappointed that the end was left a little up in the air, as if there would be a sequel....Bree, you need to keep this one going so I can see all the loose ends sorted!I received a free copy of this book and am giving an honest review

5.0 out of 5 stars A crown of beauty instead of ashes

In this well written romance, there is tragedy, betrayal and healing. We previously met Hannah Turner as the embittered young woman who tried to turn her friend against her husband. She certainly didn't invite any sympathy at the time. However, as I have discovered in my years as a facilitator of support groups, the more angry and hurtful a person is, the more likely they are to have suffered trauma that goes so deep, even they don't always know the reason for it. Also highlighted in this book, even when people have survived the worst hell, many have developed survival skills that make them an asset to society, albeit difficult people to deal with. It is whilst practicing her skills that Connor comes upon her and decides there and then that he wants her as his wife. Instinctively Connor realises that Hannah would reject any proposal on his part and so goes straight to the source and arranges the marriage with her uncle. In the short term, Connor has to wonder at his wisdom, but with persistence he begins to demonstrate to Hannah that he can be trusted. Hannah, on the other hand, is seen as an outsider and usurper by Connor's Scottish clan, and when betrayal is set in motion, Hannah recognises that her heart has changed and she will do everything in her power to keep her husband. I loved Connor's character and was glad when Hannah began to let her anger and mistrust go, allowing members of her new family to get closer to her. The gentle building of the romance between Connor and Hannah meant that the protective layers around Hannah's heart began to dissolve. When faced with insurmountable odds, it was the skills that Hannah so diligently honed that saved the day. My only complaint with this book is that it ended with a cliff-hanger and unresolved issues, which is a personal source of irritation for me. I do realise however, that the way has been opened for Tristan's story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book but ends with a teaser
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2017

I have problems with books in a series that have a character from one book that was unkind or maybe even a little evil, then in another book of the series she or he is the main character and we are supposed to see them as a hero or heroine. It is difficult to root for a character who was unlikable before. That is what happens in this book. Henrietta, who had showed her negative side in a previous story, suddenly becomes the heroine in this story when her evil uncle pretty much sells her to a Scottish Marquis. The Marquis, Connor, is riding cross country to get to London to settle the final legal arrangements for his inheritance of his title. He happens to see a young man who appears to be dancing in a field and rides over to see what he is doing. Turns out it is Henrietta dressed in some of her brother's old clothes, and she has been practicing fencing. Before Connor realizes she is a she he offers to practice with her because he thinks the boy isn't very good and could use some help. When he finds out she is a girl it is love at first sight. She won't tell him her name but he finds out and shortly after comes to her uncle's house to ask for her hand in marriage. Her uncle agrees without even asking her, and in fact orders her to marry or she will be out on the street.
Henrietta has always seen men as untrustworthy. She is very independent and knows that she can never rely on anyone else to protect her so she has done everything she can think of to protect herself, to the point of even carrying a hidden dagger at all times. Soon she finds herself in Scotland married to a man she does not know, and in a clan of people who hate her because she is English. There are whispers that she has brought a curse on the clan, people stare at her, talking ends when she walks by, and the woman who tradition says Connor should have married gives her angry looks then pastes on a smile.

She feels abandoned again just like when her parents died when she was a child. Who can she trust? She promises to kill her new husband if he touches her. Is there any way Connor can reach her? Will his love fade away before he can convince her she can trust him?

The story was great, well written, well edited, clean with no overly detailed sex scenes, if there was foul language I don't remember it. My only problem was that it ended with a bit of a cliff hanger. The story ends nicely, then there is an epilogue that is a teaser for another book. That made me just a bit angry. I never read teasers or excerpts; I use the Amazon ratings to determine if I want to read a book or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Capable young girl saves baby brother and then later her husband in this Scottish Highland novel
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018
Verified Purchase
A wonderfully well-written story of a young 5-year-old girl who rescues her brother by carrying him carefully downstairs and hiding while her father again beats her mother. This time, however, the mother ends up stabbed to death and her father shot to death. After all noise ceases, she carries her brother out of hiding and finds her dead parents. This experience scars her, leaving her unwilling to trust anyone, and spurs her to learn self defensive fighting with daggers and foils.
20 some years later, she still lives with the uncle that took the children in and her brother is away, somewhere. A chance encounter in the forest with a traveling Scottish clan chief starts a series of events leading to their marriage. As the story progresses, she slowly lets down the walls of suspicion and distrust that she has built. A loving husband and kind mother-in-law play a large role in this endeavor.
The story has a number of storylines running through it: Her husband had been made chief of the clan after the death of his father, and there is still anger and strife about his selection over his cousin. A long feud erupts when a son from one side of the feud marries the daughter of the other side. Jealousy by a woman in the clan that had wanted the chief for herself results in a deadly ambush which threatens to tear the clan apart. These are skillfully woven together to a satisfying conclusion—except for one thread: what happens to the brother? Apparently his story is so complicated that it will be told in the next book.
This is a clean story, no cursing and only kissing between a married couple is described in any detail. I find the writing style more interesting from this author than several others writing historical novels of this period, although there is not much history in this particular book. I am left wanting to go directly to the next book, the brother’s story.

I adored this book! I even took time to write a quote from it in my journal. The characters are real and the relationships are touching. I am hooked on the characters and this book which I received for free through BookBub brought me to buy a set including the sequel to this story. The characters, and in particular, the women are wise and truly supported each other with strength and wisdom, in word and action. I also love Wolf's writing because she proves that there is often more passion in a glance or light touch of the hand between people growing in a relationship than in explicit bedroom scenes that can cheapen the readers relationship with the characters. Great read!

One of the best Medieval Scottish Historical Romances I have read. It is full of drama, suspence, mystery, romance and deep fear that combined into a tale worth reading and will have you turning the pages as the drama of a Laird, the clan he harbours and the wife he loves evolve from nightmares, traitors and misunderstandings. Well written by an experience writer, I recommend books by this author, Bree Wolfe.

I enjoyed this story with Henrietta and Conor - their difficulties, his understanding and ultimate HEA but the ending seemed rushed and unresolved. Rather than a further chapter to resolve things there were 2 x epilogue that didn't seem to fit. A good story overall though.

We met Henrietta in other stories but really get true insight into her personality in this one. I enjoyed the story, and was treated to Bree’s spectacular talent for associating real trauma into her characters personalities. I don’t like when historical fictional gets too fanciful, which I felt happened when our hero first meets our heroine wearing pants in the woods practising knife throwing. I felt like this story suited the regency period least of all Bree’s novels. Even though Scotland’s society might have been very different from England’s in the era, I don’t know if I quite bought the whole idea of a properly raised English lady turning into a clan warrior princess in the early 19th century. That aside, the story is entertaining and still a good read.
