Christmas Secrets: A Holiday Novella (Secrets of the Heart Book 5)

A misfit band of allies
A threat of twisted magic
Their secrets could destroy them . . . if their enemies don't get them first.

From USA Today Bestselling Author Madeline Martin comes another steamy, suspenseful full-length novel in her Borderland Rebels series where dangerous lands yield dangerous rebels...

Feisty by nature, Kinsey Fletcher has always stood up for those who can’t defend themselves. Joining a group of Scottish rebels fighting to reclaim stolen land is a natural fit for her, as she knows what it’s like to have everything taken by the English. Though resistant to love, she finds herself drawn to the leader of the group, who might be too charming for his own good. And yet, no matter how she tries to ignore it, he ignites in her an unexpected longing that cannot be denied.

“I’ll never be the kind of woman who wears pearls with her apron while cooking meatloaf for her husband. But when I was a kid, my mother, Babs, prepared me to be the next June Cleaver - teaching me lessons that belonged to another era. Another world, practically. My mother’s world. But what can you expect from a woman whose biggest aspiration was to be Cotton Queen? I couldn’t wait to leave home and get away from her. But now, well... let’s just say life hasn’t turned out quite like I’d planned. And heaven help me, I’m going home.” - Laney Hoffman, Cotton Queen, 1975
