King of the Weld by Zoey Rose

I never expected to find freedom in the arms of an ex-military who’d locked his own heart away.

After fleeing an arranged marriage to a cruel man, I stumble through the forest for days, my wedding dress in tatters and my feet bloody from running barefoot. Just when my strength gives out, I collapse at the edge of a property belonging to Ethan Morrison: a blacksmith who lives in isolation, haunted by his past.

Ethan reluctantly takes me in, tending my wounds and offering temporary shelter despite his obvious preference for solitude. He’s nothing like the polished, privileged men from my world. He’s tall, muscular, with rugged hands that create beauty from metal and dangerous eyes that have seen too much.

I know I should leave before I bring more trouble to his door, but something about this broken warrior calls to something equally broken in me. Can I trust him with my future when he can barely face his own past?

King of the Weld is a short, sweet, and steamy small town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in The Morrison Brothers.
