There is 'The Enchanted Laird in Shadow Music'. In this novel, the laird is a complex character. The story weaves in the concept of shadow music, perhaps as a metaphor for the hidden aspects of the characters' emotions. The romance unfolds against the backdrop of a vividly described Scottish landscape.
Well, the atmosphere in 'laird of the mist romance novels' is quite unique. The mist that is often in the title or described in the story gives an air of mystery.

There's no way to know for sure who the laird is just from this title. He could be a kind - hearted laird who takes care of the boys and girls in the story. Or he might be a strict laird who is teaching them important lessons. It all depends on the context of the story.
I'd recommend 'The Laird's Choice' too. It's not overly complex and it shows the typical elements of a Scottish laird's life and his falling in love. The characters are well - developed and the story is quite charming for those new to this genre.
