Shona Thompson’s Under Highland Desire series begins with Under the Laird’s Protection (2026).
The book is a Scottish Highland romance, a popular subgenre that pairs historical settings with strong-willed heroines and protective Highland lairds. Thompson sets the story in a period when clan loyalties and land disputes shaped daily life, and the romance develops against that backdrop of political tension.
Under the Laird’s Protection is the first entry in the series, with more books expected to follow. Readers who enjoy Highland romances by authors like Julie Johnstone or Lynsay Sands will find familiar territory here.
