The Plight of a Scottish Lass (Clans of Mull Book 1)

A beaten wife. A rock the tide will swallow by nightfall. And the chieftain on the cliff who was never supposed to care.Tamsin Garvie has survived years of her husband's fists, but losing the babe she never knew she carried is the failure he won't forgive. He leaves her to drown on an outcropping off the Isle of Mull and tells his men she went for a swim. The one thing he can't take from her is the daughter she vows to live for.Thane MacQuarie pulled three orphaned siblings out of the wild and built a clan from nothing. He swore he'd never marry, never owe his heart to anyone but his own. But the half-dead woman with one blue eye and one green isn't begging to be saved, and that's exactly why he can't leave her on the rock.Sheltering her means making her husband his enemy. Sending her away means letting her die. Thane has never been good at the second one.Some women are left to drown. This one learns to fight back.✓ Escaping an abusive marriage✓ Rescued from death✓ Hero sworn off marriage✓ Wounded heroine, slow healing✓ Protector hero ✓ Found family✓ Forced proximity✓ A mother fighting to reach her child✓ Highland clan & chieftainHeat Level: ModerateVibes: emotional, suspenseful, protective, healingSetting: Medieval Isle of Mull, Scottish Highlands, 1316Ending: HEA — Book 1 of the Clans of Mull series of 6 books.
