"A powerful and engaging romance"

Fresh Fiction Review

Romance Historical

Michael has finally returned home after years of being gone as a soldier. He is eager to see his wife, but Brenna is a different person than the one he remembers. She is confident, self-assured, and has turned his Highland castle into a home. She is also upset with Michael for leaving her for so many years, and seems to have secrets she won't share. Michael is determined to win Brenna's forgiveness even if her secrets cost him everything he holds dear. THE LAIRD is a captivating and well- written romance. Michael is a caring and understanding hero whose love for Brenna shows as soon as he is introduced to readers. Brenna is a strong heroine who is overcoming her past and trying to love her husband. Michael and Brenna's struggles seem believable and readers will become a part of their lives. Grace Burrowes is exploring darker themes in THE LAIRD, and the storyline is bleaker than most of her other novels. Readers will still find themselves lost in the story, and the ending is enjoyable and moving. THE LAIRD is a powerful story of forgiveness and love.

SUMMARY

He left his bride to go to war... After years of soldiering, Michael Brodie returns to his Highland estate to find that the bride he left behind has become a stranger. Brenna is self-sufficient, competent, confident-and furious. Despite her anger at Michael's prolonged absence, Brenna has remained loyal to her husband, though Michael's people, and most especially the uncle who held the estate together for him, make it clear they expect Michael to set Brenna aside. Though his most important battle will be for her heart. Michael left Brenna when she needed him most, and then stayed away even after the war ended. Nonetheless, the young man who abandoned her has come home a wiser, more patient and honorable husband. Brenna is hurt, bewildered, and tired of fighting for the respect of those around her, but if she trusts Michael with the truths she'd been guarding, he'll have to choose between his wife and everything he holds dear.
