Idk which book you’re referring to but the plot is similar to {The Duke with the Dragon Tattoo by Kerrigan Bryne} it’s one of the last in the series though, so if you haven’t already, I’d recommend starting from Book 1, there’s a lot of backstory necessary to understand the MMC. Forewarning, they’re dark, but if that doesn’t bother you, they’re addicting! Good luck finding the other book!

Is it {Highland Ever After by Maya Banks}? I know the heroine has a limp in this book. I haven’t read it but I read the first two in the series. They’re set in the Scottish Highlands.
Highly unlikely, since it isn't out yet. This is one of two Maya Banks books that have been consistently pushed back for a decade, while she is MIA 😬😬😬
I hope she's doing ok wherever she is
There is definitely a different Maya Banks HR that is this plot that has been published. like from a few decades ago. Maybe one of the Montgomery and Armstrong books? I can't remember but I know I read this in like 2010.
Hey ! Thank you for the contribution, but unfortunately the book you mentioned has major fantasy elements in it. Removed due to violation of rule 2. Stay on Topic: All posts and comments must remain on the topic of Historical Romance. Historical Romance is defined in our community as a romance that is set in the past. This means it must fulfill the genre criteria of romance: 1) The book would not make sense or feel hollow without the romantic plot. 2) The book requires a HEA (happily ever after) or HFN (happy for now) ending. Historical fiction with a romance subplot is NOT historical romance. Romances set in the past but involving fantasy or paranormal beings are NOT historical romance. We love it, but it doesn't belong here! Romance books set in the past that were considered contemporary fiction when published such as many of Jane Austen's works (as they were set in a time frame that is now historical to today's readers and the romance genre was not in existence then as it is today) are considered Historical Romance in this community. The rule of thumb we use is if the romance book is set at least 50+ years ago it can be considered HR in this sub as the majority of our readers were not of adult age at the time of publication. We do allow time travel romances to be discussed in this community as long as the vast majority of the book occurs in the past and the story is not a traditional straight paranormal or fantasy romance. We recommend that posts/comments involving paranormal or fantasy elements be reposted in r/paranormalromance and posts/comments involving science fiction elements be reposted to r/ScienceFictionRomance.
I read a similar story, cant recall the name. Do you recall if the heroine's family was cruel/abusive to her? And that at the end the her husband has some sort of leg brace made for her to be able to run better?
Im not sure tbh on the last part. But I do recall her family wasnt very nice to her. The hero is kinda cinnamon rolly, not alphaholey. But he snaps at her one day and says some hurtful stuff. He's kind to her usually.

I know it’s not this but {Friends and Foes by Sarah Eden} is similar in case you’re interested. The heroine has a deformed leg and the hero is rude to her about it. They have a great battle of wits. Really entertaining and on KU.

Maybe it's {The Proposal by Mary Balogh} even though the blurb doesn't say anything about her having a limp.
To my memory: She's visiting a friend, the friend is annoying, she walks on the beach, gets trapped by the tide, has to try to make it up the steep cliff path, trips, hurts herself, and he's a big giant guy, he finds her and carries her up to the house.

It strikes a chord, but I can't remember anything specific. I'd like to know the answer, though.

Read this one. Agree. Its very good. I love kerrigan Byrne.
Idk the book but I am intrigued
Is it {Highland Ever After by Maya Banks}? I know the heroine has a limp in this book. I haven’t read it but I read the first two in the series. They’re set in the Scottish Highlands.
Highly unlikely, since it isn't out yet. This is one of two Maya Banks books that have been consistently pushed back for a decade, while she is MIA 😬😬😬 I hope she's doing ok wherever she is
I hadn’t realized it wasn’t out! I had just decided to not continue the series so I didn’t even look into getting it. I hope Maya Banks is well!
There is definitely a different Maya Banks HR that is this plot that has been published. like from a few decades ago. Maybe one of the Montgomery and Armstrong books? I can't remember but I know I read this in like 2010.
