It’s release day for Eliza MacArthur’s Hold Fast, and can we have some commotion for the old-schoolness of this cover??
Una has just ended a handfast marriage with a terrible man she is desperate to be free of. A gifted healer, she takes off to the neighbouring/rival clan when she saves the laird’s brother and finds safety and purpose there. After suffering a year of abuse in her marriage (check the CWs!), she wants nothing to do with men.
Meanwhile, the laird, Ewan, is deeply impressed with Una’s competence and her determination. He’s got his own issues, though, and has promised himself to never marry.
As much as both of them are scarred from their pasts, they’re still drawn to each other, and when they’re forced to handfast each other, they have to work through their trauma together and separately so they can stand against an old foe. But that trauma isn’t quickly healed by love or sex—so how much will their trauma get in their way and potentially tear them apart?
If you love old-school historical Highlander romance but want a more modern sensibility behind it, you HAVE to check this out! Hold Fast is on KU and Amazon now!
