The Laird’s Abandoned Bride by Lydia Kendall

“Who are ye?”
“Yer husband-to-be. And ye’re late to our wedding.”

Forced to do her duty to her clan, Ava agrees to have a white marriage with her friend.
Only, when she walks down the aisle, she finds his icy brother instead…
And Laird Caden wants an obedient bride.
Someone to order. To tame. To claim…
***
Masked and fearsome, Laird Caden needs a bride to raise his nephew and give him another heir.
So when his brother backs down from his farce of a wedding, Caden steps in.
There’s only one problem: his bride refuses to surrender unless she trusts him.
And it’s hard to trust the most lethal villain of the Highlands.
No matter how he makes her shudder under his touch…
