Mariota MacKay believes both her virtue and her life are in jeopardy from one of her clan’s guards. Though she repels his advances, she knows one day he’ll succeed, and because her father cannot accept that his heir is truly at risk, she sees no way to save herself but to run.

Lost in the Highland forest, she crosses paths with a hunting party led by Stellan Sutherland. When the handsome stranger offers her the sanctuary she’s denied at home, his kindness deepens her immediate attraction to him. Too late to keep her newfound feelings from gaining strength, she discovers he’s a man she cannot have—the first-born twin and heir to his own clan. She is torn between choosing the man she falls in love with, and the heritage she has fought for years to earn.

Stellan’s desire for the brave beauty from a neighboring clan clashes with his honor and duty. Mariota is the woman he wants by his side, but she is also the heir who will one day rule MacKay. He cannot ask her to give up her destiny and do what he will not—renounce his birthright as Laird Sutherland. Does the answer lie with his twin? Or will the dangers mounting around them, including the vengeful clansman hunting her, destroy any hope of a future together—or any future at all?

Both heirs to their clans, their love is doomed from the start, or is it?

Now that his twin is blissfully married and starting a family, Anders Sutherland longs for the same happiness. Lasses have always favored him, but he refuses to settle for anything less than a love match. Winning a bride worth keeping for life is a challenge he will enjoy—if he survives. When a storm at sea spits Anders onto a hostile shore, he finds himself falling for the spirited lass who nurses him back to health.

 

The handsome stranger who shows up at Ailsa Sinclair’s clan stronghold captivates her. Is he friend or foe? Her parents and brother, the heir, are away, so the clan's safety depends on her ruling. Then the stranger collapses at the gate, making the decision for her. As she cares for his injuries, she learns why all the lasses sigh over him, and her spark of attraction to him grows into fevered longing.

 

But Ailsa soon discovers that no matter how he came to them, Highland hospitality be damned, she should never have allowed Anders inside her walls. Fearing betrayal, he has kept an important secret. He’s the son of an enemy laird. Will she fight to save the man who stole the heart she has so carefully guarded for years, or will she let her family toss him in the dungeon—or worse, back into the sea?

Waiting for a Forever Love

Waiting for a Forever Love
Genre:

Successful businessman Holt Ridley doesn’t believe in curses, but when he inherits a great-aunt’s Long Island estate in early winter, tales of his family’s past tragedies begin to seem real— and threatening. Though he’s determined to sell everything and return to his life in California as quickly as possible, the stunning Scottish antiques expert hired to help him soon disrupts his plans. But she is just the touch of holiday cheer he needs. She challenges his every assumption— not only about the contents of the estate, and everything he was told about his family’s past, but about learning to love for a lifetime.

Antiques appraiser Caitlin Paterson discovers more than she expected among the contents she’s been hired to catalog in the grand manor. As she evaluates the estate’s furnishings, she uncovers several mysteries— including a disturbing one that drives her to solve it. The most intriguing is the mansion’s new owner, Holt Ridley. Holt is handsome, rich, and stubborn, just the sort of man she loves to spar with, but there’s also a sadness in him that she longs to heal.

Holt fears if their romance deepens, the centuries-old heartache that plagues his family will extend to him, and harm Caitlin, too. She is determined to help him find the happiness that has eluded him his entire life. He is torn between his desire for her and his need to protect her. Dare he let her close enough to risk everything? If they fail, his family history will be repeated, and neither of them will find a forever love.

Waiting for a Forever Love was previously published as When You Find Love, a finalist in the Short Contemporary category of the 2021 BookSellers’ Best Award. If you read the earlier book, I hope you will enjoy Caitlin Paterson's and Holt Ridley’s new, expanded romance. It has been rebranded, new scenes and details have been added, and the emotional story deepened. And as you can see, it has a gorgeous new cover.

Oh, and for his fans, Fergus, from Waiting for the Laird, the first book in this series, still makes an appearance at the end.

If the story is new to you, I hope you have a wonderful time. Read on!

Highland Reckoning

Highland Reckoning
Genre:

Drummond Lathan has never wished for any form of the strange talents that curse his mother’s bloodline. Serving as his father’s advisor, negotiator, and second in command, his position as Lathan heir and his highly honed skill as a warrior garner him more than enough attention without the added burden of the hushed whispers his talented siblings have to bear.

Morven MacComas knows the destructive power of whispers. A year and a day after handfasting, her husband denied her and disappeared, leaving her disgraced and brokenhearted. When she discovered he also left her pregnant, she vowed that there would be but one love in her life—her child. Years later, even as she struggles to deny her attraction to the visiting Lathan heir, Morven fears his recent arrival is somehow linked to a daring daylight raid on her village. Along with cattle, reivers have taken her young son.

Drummond has always had a knack for finding lost things, but believes his success is simple good fortune. As the attraction between Drummond and Morven grows, his heartfelt attachment to her becomes a bond that could lead to the boy—if Drummond can accept that his talent is real and valuable. And if Morven can allow herself to trust in love again before her son is lost forever.
