Captive Hearts. Reluctant Brides, #6

She is the only light in his darkness, and he will burn down the world to keep her. Torin Ruthven was captured by the English at the Battle of Halidon Hill and given up for dead. When he finally escaped his captors, he was a ghost of a man - until a woman found him, hid him, and quietly refused to let him die. Then she disappeared before he could learn her name. Nessa Stewart has far too many responsibilities.
The last thing she needs is to find a dying man who cannot speak, dressed in English army clothes, lost in the woods. She secretly cares for him, before reluctantly handing the stranger over to the care of a local monastery. When a strange twist of fate throws them back together three years later, Torin has one thought and one thought only. He didn't crawl back from hell just to lose her again. Genre: Medieval Scottish Highland Romance Tropes: strangers to lovers, second chance romance, he fell first, obsessive/possessive hero, over-the-top alpha male. No cheating.
No cliffhangers. HEA.
