This HaBO is from Mary, who wants to find this historical romance:
I cannot remember the title/author of one of my favorite historical romance novels.
Lead female was supposed to marry an older man and then he was murdered. She was accused and they were about to hang her, walking her through a courtyard, people throwing rotting food at her etc. Highland warrior and his clan save her, take her to his castle. She is Irish, he’s a feared Scottish warrior. I believe it was her step brother who murdered her fiancé. She was always trying to escape.
Ring any bells?
