Lady Ainsley Matthews, heiress and darling of the ton, was expected to make a magnificent match. Instead, she's hiding on a remote Scottish estate, terrified her vicious former fiance will use her pregnancy to force her into marriage. One man can help her - Royal Kendrick, son of a distinguished Highland clan. Though a mistake drove them apart long ago, Royal is the only person Ainsley trusts to protect her baby - even if that means agreeing to never see either of them again....
Scarred in body and soul by war, Royal suddenly has a purpose - caring for an innocent babe and thereby helping the woman he can't stop loving. But when Ainsley ultimately returns to Scotland, determined to be a real mother to her child in spite of the risk, there's only one solution: marriage. And only one likely outcome: surrendering to the desire that's simmered between them for so long, no matter how dangerous it may be....
Contains mature themes.

Not a bad book…it’s the characters
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Adult content - This book has adult content. Not much. You'll be quite a bit through the book before the heroine and hero come together physically. There are a few 3rd base scenes leading up. There is a lot of romance in the book but not very much adult content. Trigger warning - there is sexual violence discussed in the book, but no worries, the hero is not the bad guy. It's also not discussed graphically. I actually wish the author had either left it out or made a bigger deal of it. Why? Because sexual assault is horrific and has a large impact on the victim, and if you're going to relay a survivor story it should give weight to the event.
What I didn't like: (1) The narrator - I've heard her many times before, sometimes her voice works for the characters and other times not so much. As the main character, she's fine. Unfortunately, she makes the grandfather, (who is basically described as a old, hardened, life-worn, Scottish goat), sound like someone's effeminate uncle. (2) The annoying heroine. Time after time she tests the hero, she won't trust him even though he's solid from the go, she makes stupid decisions and also continues to put herself and others in danger. Since she's not written as having a low IQ, these issues don't work in the plot. She's often rude to the hero instead of grateful. She comes across like a twit. (3) There are parts that are painfully drawn out. This 13 hour book should have been edited to 8 or 9 hours. There are some aspects that are presented at an agonizingly slow pace. Also, in a few spots, items that seem important are just glazed over.
It was worth the listen, but not one of my favorites.
Great plot - but too much whining and delay
