He sees her strengthâeven when she doubts it herself. To Keir Mackinnear, Sarah is more than the woman who defied a broken systemâsheâs the heart that pulled him back when he was ready to leave. His clan welcomes her warmly, but not everyone is ready to let go of old expectations. One friend, in particular, doesnât plan to step aside quietly. Yet Keir never promised his heart to anyone elseâand he wonât start now.
Their path isnât simpleâbut love rarely is. Between fragile trust and old loyalties, Sarah and Keir must find a way to stand steady in their love. It may not look like the fairy tales she grew up readingâbut it feels real. And maybe thatâs all that matters. Because some love stories are built not from perfection, but from persistence, and the courage to choose each other again and again.
Even when the past reaches out. Even when doubt sneaks in. Even when the world tells you youâre not enoughâlove quietly says you are.
If healing feels messy, love feels daunting, and hope feels distantâthis book might be the balm you didnât know you needed.
Some stories can be told in one book. Others cannot. This is one of those stories. For your full enjoyment we recommend to start with book one, FLAMES OF WINTER.
đ About Me
Hi, Iâm Bree Wolfâa USA Today bestselling author, former academic, and life-long lover of stories. I studied English and Specialized Translation, wandered the halls of universities, spending more years than I should have trying to be reasonable.
Eventually, that quiet, persistent voice in my head said: Itâs time to write. Iâve since published over fifty historical romances, each one stitched together from pieces of my own heart: doubts, regrets, fears, and messy, hopeful dreams.
I love chocolate (especially when chapters get emotional), cry far too easily at my keyboard, and have a deep spiritual bond with cats⌠which is tragically one-sided, as Iâm terribly allergic. A lifelong heartbreak, truly.
đ About What I Write
I write love storiesânot the tidy kind with perfect timing and easy resolution.
My stories are about the hearts that ache a little louder, fall a little later, and carry more than they ever expected to. Youâll meet heroines whoâve been hurt, heroes who protect with patience, and love that heals in slow, steady pulses.
Whether set in Englandâs ballrooms, Scotlandâs wild highlands, or time-tossed ruins, these are journeys of emotional courage. Theyâre layered, sincere, and full of the kind of hope you find after everything else. My romances arenât escapeâtheyâre refuge.
â¤ď¸ About Why I Write
At their core, my books are love lettersâto anyone whoâs ever doubted they were enough, struggled to be seen, or wondered if healing would ever come. I draw from personal experience, yesâbut mostly I write for connection. For restoration. For the reader flipping pages late into the night, whispering please let them be okay.
My settings shiftâRegency England, Scottish Highlands, sometimes a little magicâbut the heartbeat stays the same: tenderness. Bravery. Love that doesnât fix you, but walks with you while you become who you were meant to be.
And if any part of my stories finds a place in your own⌠then Iâve written what I was meant to.
