The Chief
Book Five
Welcome to 13th-century England, where a secret knightly order rises from the shadows and a group warriors honor is only second to their hearts.
A lady’s maid. A future chief. A secret that changes everything.
Rory Kennaugh is the loyal second. He never wanted the weight of the clan title, and he certainly never expected to lead. But a startling revelation on the Feast of Saint Valentine changes his destiny. Suddenly, the future he ignored is the only one he wants, and the one woman he shouldn’t touch is the only one he can’t forget.
Cristane is a lady’s maid with a dangerous secret. She has spent years pining for her lady’s brother, Rory, knowing a match between them is impossible. She was prepared to take her feelings to the grave. Then the traditional games of the Valentine’s feast betray her, exposing her mortifying secret to the man himself.
The truth changes everything. As a new threat to the Kennaugh clan emerges, Rory must prove his mettle as a leader. He is a man caught between his duty to the blood and the woman who holds his soul.
In the rugged Scottish Highlands, a future chief must decide: will he follow the laws of his station, or risk his legacy for a love that defies them all?

The Chief
A widow after only one year of marriage, Lady Roysa refuses to quietly retreat to a lonely estate. Seeking a fresh start, she runs to her sister Idalia at Dromsley Castle. What she doesn’t realize is that her family harbors a deadly secret. They are embedded in a rebellion against King John, alongside their gruff, imposing host.
The last thing Terric Kennaugh wants is a guest, let alone a pampered English miss who seems more concerned with fashion than the Order of the Broken Blade’s treasonous plots. He may be more Scot than Englishman, but the crown has a long history of bleeding his family dry. Terric will not miss his chance at vengeance, and love is a distraction that could get them all killed.
Yet, because Idalia is like family, he cannot turn Roysa away. Forced under the same roof, Terric is soon captivated by the fierce, noble woman hiding beneath the silks.
But Dromsley Castle is about to become ground zero in an all-out war between the king’s men and the Order. To claim a second chance at love, they must first survive the crown’s wrath.
