Ruin & Redemption - Paperback

by Jayne Castel (Author), Tim Burton (Editor)

He is her ruin ... but she is his redemption.

A gifted weaver with ambition. A reckless warrior. A love born in scandal.

Fiona Mackinnon has spent her life working in the shadows. When she's commissioned to weave a grand tapestry for Dounarwyse Castle on the Isle of Mull, it's her chance to claim something more. A future built by her own hands.

She will not let anyone take that from her.

Least of all the laird's eldest son.

Ailean Maclean returned from war a hero-but heroes without purpose are dangerous men. Restless. Reckless. One step from self-destruction. He doesn't need a wife. He doesn't want responsibility.

He wants distraction.

And Fiona-sharp-tongued, fiercely talented, and unimpressed by his charm-is a challenge he can't resist.

She knows better than to fall for a man like him.

One scandal could cost her everything.

But desire doesn't ask permission.

And when restraint finally shatters, the fallout doesn't just threaten Fiona's hard-won future-it destroys it.

Now Ailean must face what he's done.

Because claiming a woman is easy.

Proving he's worthy of her is not.

And redemption demands far more than a warrior's strength.
