He paid for her death. He kept her alive. He’ll regret it

HE BOUGHT MY LIFE IN FRONT OF AN ENTIRE CLAN. NOW HE WANTS EVERYTHING THAT’S LEFT OF ME.

The rope was already cutting into my throat when he decided I was worth something.
Not mercy. Not pity. Gold.

My name is Elspeth.
Bastard. Disposable. The mistake no clan would claim—until the day they tried to kill me.

And the man who stopped it?
Didn’t save me.
He bought me.

Ewan MacInnis.
Laird of Dunslair.
Ruthless. Calculated. Untouchable.

A Highlander who doesn’t negotiate. Doesn’t forgive. And never loses.

He claimed me in front of everyone.
Not as a bride. Not as an ally.
As property.

My choices were simple:
Die in the dirt — or belong to a man who looks at me like he’s already decided what I am.

And what I am?
Something he intends to break… and remake into something his.

But Ewan MacInnis doesn’t destroy what he owns.
He transforms it.
And that was his first mistake.

Because I was never the girl they condemned.
I’m the proof of what was done in the dark—
and the reason powerful men are already moving to erase me.

Clans are shifting.
Blades are being sharpened.
And if I speak—the Highlands won’t survive the truth.

Too late.
Because the one man they should fear the most?
Bought me.

Now I live inside his castle.
Eat at his table.
Sleep under his roof.

And every day—
he looks at me like I’m no longer something he purchased…
but something he will kill to keep.

The problem?
I don’t know if I want to escape him anymore.
