How to Live Happily Ever After in the Highlands — Elizabeth Cole

Thane MacPhearson came back from the Napoleonic Wars as a hero, but he's haunted by the memories of the men he couldn't save, especially his friend Brodie Ross. When he meets Brodie's twin sister back in Edinburgh, he can't believe the capricious, outspoken, headstrong lady is related to his friend. Thane can't stand Catriona...but he also can't stop thinking about her. Catriona Ross hides her grief behind a smile, focusing on her quest to gain equal rights for women to prevent herself from falling into despair. Cat thinks Thane is as heartless as he is handsome, and she resents that he lived while her brother died. If she had her way, she'd never see him again!But when someone takes a shot at Catriona, Thane pulls her out of harm's way...and then proceeds to take over her life, sweeping her away to his Highland estate until he and his men can figure out who's trying to kill her. Though Cat rails against Thane's high-handed tactics, she can't deny that the longer she's near him, the more she dreams of his touch. Can she live happily ever after in the Highlands?
