The Thistle
About the book
He did not intend to marry. She did not want to be a prize. Alana is the eldest daughter of a Laird, raised as an heiress. She dreamed of a marriage for love, but her father decided otherwise: he announced a competition where the winner would receive her hand — and the clan. Iain is the Laird’s younger brother, used to being in the shadows. He never sought power, but fate offers a chance he cannot escape: his brother signs the consent in his place. Four warriors. One girl. And a heart that has not yet made its choice. Will they have the strength to defy duty, intrigue, and their own fear?

nataliia-dizurko03.10.2025, 21:38Thank you for the wonderful book. I finished reading it. I really liked it. Alana and Ian deserve their happiness. Despite the obstacles and Fergus's nastiness, they are still together. And if Jacob hadn't helped figure things out, who knows what would have happened. And Graham deserves special thanks. Your books are very interesting and captivating! I wish you to continue delighting us with your works! I eagerly await new stories!

lara-rosa28.09.2025, 10:46Fergus's fate made me happy - there's a bit of bloodthirstiness in me))) Thank you, Natalochka, for the wonderful story!!! I was afraid that Ian would completely refuse and complicate everything even more. Thankfully, Jacob is more sensible)) I got immense pleasure from it! By the way, I also really love this Scottish vibe)) Wishing you inspiration for new stories and a sea of readers for them!!!

ganna-todoriv28.09.2025, 07:11Thank youuu! The book is wonderful! I always looked forward to updates. I was surprised how the reconciliation of Alana and Ien could fit into the epilogue, as there were many unresolved issues. But all's well that ends well!
netali-makkenzi28.09.2025, 21:54Hanna Todoriv, Thank you sincerely! I'm very glad that you liked it. I hope that the ending satisfied you. Don't go far, because there will be something new soon)
olena-guspit27.09.2025, 23:31Look at this scoundrel..!!! What a "noble" one..!!! He'll help "hide the shame"..!!! Fergus, keep an eye on your own shame..!!!… In this situation, Graham's reaction is very pleasing..!!! A worthy man..!!! He accepted Alana's choice with dignity..!!! And even went to talk with Ian..!!! I hope Jacob listens and doesn’t act rashly as he usually does..!!!… Thanks for the update!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Netali, we need to find a good match for Graham..!!! Why should a good man be left wandering around without a home..?!?!?..)))
netali-makkenzi28.09.2025, 21:53Olena Hushpyt, Oh yes, Fergus didn't miss his chance. Grem, although he liked Alana as a woman, still prioritized friendship. He's great. Yes, it would be nice for him to have a good match. But maybe somewhere, sometime) Honestly, I hadn't planned such a story. And who knows if it will happen) Thank you for your feedback and suggestion!
nataliia-dizurko27.09.2025, 22:14Iain doesn't know about the pregnancy. And Fergus pulled off something like that and will get away with it? What is Alana supposed to do? Iain left, and she knows nothing. I hope Graham will be able to get the truth to Iain.
netali-makkenzi28.09.2025, 21:51Nataliya Dizhurko, There are many questions, but few answers so far. However, everything will gradually become clearer. Thank you for your impressions!
tania-tolcin27.09.2025, 14:19Fergus is really a jerk!!!! I would even call him a worse word... He won't believe now that it's his child!!!(((
netali-makkenzi28.09.2025, 21:50Tanya Tolchyn, Yes, it seems Fergus got lucky. Thanks for the impressions!
natalia-rusanova27.09.2025, 13:14Alana confessed about her pregnancy, but the father didn't react as he should have. On the other hand, Fergus immediately seized the opportunity, the sly fox! Graham went as a negotiator, but Ian's brother treated him very arrogantly, without explaining anything. I so want there to be understanding! Thank you!♥️
netali-makkenzi28.09.2025, 21:50Natalia Rusanova, Everything is just like that. Waiting to see what happens next. Thank you for the impressions!
lara-rosa27.09.2025, 10:11Events are picking up speed... Alana stunned everyone with her honesty! And Fergus is already quickly pulling everything under his control. Poor Geon! He really brought this on himself! I hope Grem will clarify everything.
netali-makkenzi28.09.2025, 21:49Lara Rosa, Yes, things didn't turn out as expected. Let's keep our fingers crossed for some clarity. Thanks for the impressions!
