This is where the fictional heroine Sorcha MacMillan grew up. The castle her villainous fathers and betrothed Gilbert Cameron want.
Terri Brisbin is what I call one of the Queen’s of Scottish historical romance! As she has the rare gift of drawing the readers in and never letting go. I am thrilled to pieces she found a story for Alan as he has been in previous books in “A Highland Feuding” series.
One of my favorite things about Terri Brisbin novels, is she writes about real places in Scotland. Most likely inspired from her many visits to the mother country “Alba” Scotland.
This book is beautifully written with breath taking settings! Plus non stop action and adventure, a beautiful love story that will melt your heart. In addition to the brilliant plotting - was phenomenal characters I have grown to love! It is definitely a story you don’t want to miss! I can’t recommend it enough!
