He returned from the Crusades ready to secure his future. He never planned to lose his heart.

Fresh from the Crusades, Garrick Helmsley arrives in the Borderlands to find his Scottish inheritance under threat. To silence his rivals and protect his claim, the Earl of Clave agrees to a politically strategic marriage — a calculated move, nothing more.

Then he meets Lady Emma Waryn.

Impulsive, intelligent, and fiercely independent, Emma is everything Garrick never allowed himself to want. Tasked with escorting her to Scotland, he finds his resolve crumbling with every mile… and every stolen glance. As political tensions rise and loyalties fracture, he must choose between the duty that has defined him and the woman who has claimed him entirely.

Emma has sworn never to surrender her heart to a powerful, domineering man. But Garrick is nothing like the men she feared — and everything she never dared to want.

The Earl’s Entanglement is a passionate medieval romance set in the Scottish Borderlands, filled with forbidden desire, political intrigue, and the slow burn between an alpha hero and a heroine who refuses to be tamed. Book Five in the beloved Border Series … reads as a standalone.
