When a Warrior Woos a Lass by Julie Johnstone is book Six in the "Highlander Vows: Entangled Hearts" series.   This is the story of Lena MacLeod and Alex MacLean.  I have read read the previous books but feel this can be a standalone book.
Lena was taken from her family around 7 years old and later forced to marry a evil and abusive man.  Her family thinking she was dead at one point but found her and killed her abusive husband. Now she has been back in her families home in  Dunvegan Castle for about two years.  Alex was apart of the team of people that brought her home and away from the abuse.  So he knows some of what happened to her.  Alex too has been an abusive past that still haunts him til this day.  When Alex and Lena are ordered to marry by the King they move forward to do so and Alex vows to protect Lena.  Lena is learning to care for her somewhat distant husband and she is protective of him also.
Each book I read in this series I think is my favorite but this one has a soft spot with how both of them showed the other love and help to heal their wounds.

'How a Scot Surrenders to a Lady' by Julie Johnstone is Book Five in Highlander Vows: Entangled Hearts Series. This is the story of Cameron MacLeod and Sorcha Stewart. I have read some of the previous book but I do feel this can be a standalone book. Cameron is the youngest of his brothers and seems to have something to prove to them.
Sorcha and her twin brother Finn are very different in that Sorcha is more the warrior and Finn is more of the softer of the two. Their Father, Earl of Angus is very harsh and Sorcha and her mother used to buffer between the father and the son. But their Mother has died and now Socha is trying to keep protect her brother. Their father already married of their sister to a harsh man who just wanted a wife for children. Now their father is trying to make Finn into a Warrior by making him kill King Davids' Mistress, Katherine Mortimer. When he fails to do the job a fellow warrior named Hugo said he will do it if he can have Sorcha's hand in marriage. Sorcha knows that she should have left her father instead of staying with his threats to marry her off but she feels she needs to stay and protect Finn and their Uncle Brom, who is large as a warrior but has a mind of a child. But with this threat of killing the Kings Mistress to start the downfall of the King and knowing this will hurt Finn in the long run Sorcha goes to warn the Kings Mistress and their group.
Cameron is leading the group guarding the King's mistress and they are attacked he happens to see Sorcha.
Sorcha and Cameron actually met a few years back briefly when they was a Tournament going on that they both competed in. Although Sorcha was dress as a boy since women can't compete he saw her and tried to talk to her. But was stopped when she ran off and a Seer stopped him to tell him it wasn't his time to meet her. That she, Sorcha and him would meet again and she would bring him to betray his family and the King.
Now has come the time for them to meet and be together but Sorcha has hit her head and doesn't know anything it seems and Cameron is trying to stay strong and not fall as the Seer said he would.
This book you will not be able to put down...so be prepare to enjoy a few hours of reading!
