This is a Stand-Alone Novella (25,000 words).

When Connor MacNeil storms into his keep ranting about being forced to marry "some crippled, cursed old hag," he has no idea his bride-to-be is listening in the next room.

Oops.

Fiona Finnigan may walk with a slight limp, but there's nothing wrong with her hearing, or her temper. This arranged marriage between feuding clans was supposed to make peace, but now it might just start another war.

And somewhere in the Highland mist, the person who tried to unalive Fiona with an arrow ten years ago is still out there, watching and waiting.

Between dealing with a stage-five-clinger ex-lover, navigating clan politics, and trying not to strangle each other, can two stubborn souls find love in the Scottish Highlands?

Or will Connor's big mouth doom them both before they make it to the altar?
