The Highlander's Welsh Bride: The Hardy Heroines series, book #5

He's a hard-headed Scot seeking a wife. She's a fugitive Welsh princess under arrest for poaching. Can Birk convince Carys marriage to him is preferable to a hangman's noose?

Birk MacLean has been ordered to take a bride. But the lasses paraded before him promise little more than delicate natures and selfish motives. He requires a wife strong enough to help lead one of the most powerful clans in Western Scotland. One like the Welsh woman sitting in his dungeon, arrested for poaching MacLean deer.

Carys Wen, a princess of Wales, once picked up arms alongside her husband in the fight for Wales's Independence. Now homeless, her husband dead and buried beneath good Welsh soil, she has fled north, penniless and completely bereft of hope. She desires little from life beyond peace and a place where she will not draw the attention of the English king who destroyed her family and country.

Will Birk's plan to marry Carys gain him the strong wife he desires? Or could his abrupt handling of the circumstances bring him more than he expected?
