This is a book that I was asked to “judge” for a contest. Ilyse who has been physically/emotionally abused by her father and sister and placed in a nunnery, is used as a pawn in an evil scheme. She marries Ross MacMillan, a chieftain who thought he was marrying Ilyse‘s older sister. They grow into love as they support and eventually learn to trust each other. I loved both mains. My only issue was a sudden and frankly unbelievable about-face 🔻
