She kissed him once. Now she must dare to let him see her fully. Emma Stewart has admired Finnegan MacDrummond from afarâtoo quietly, for too long. But silence doesnât get answered. So she risks everything with a single, brazen act: a kiss that catches him off guard and sends her fleeing into the woods⌠heart racing, hope flickering, courage trembling.
He never saw her coming. But he canât look away now. Finnegan, gruff Highlander and steady soul, wasnât prepared to be kissed by a strangerâor to feel a spark he canât shake.

And yet, between awkward silences and searching eyes, they begin to learn that the only way to be truly chosen⌠is to be truly seen. Because hiding feels safe. But nothing about love is meant to be safe.
She kissed him to be brave. Now she must let him in.
