Widow Lara MacLaren hungers for the hunky architect she hires to restore her derelict Scottish manor, but is she ready for a relationship...and is Ian ready for her twins?

Ian Paterson is eager to awaken Lara's passionate side. Yet, if he reveals his ancestral claim to her estate, he risks losing her and his job. His clan’s history, lost over the years, may be hidden in the walls—along with a ghost waiting for the laird's return.

When they uncover a room full of Jacobite treasure, proof of his ancestry, Ian realizes he’s out of time. If the ghost is real, it could expose his secret and destroy his romance with Lara. Ian must convince her she and her twins are the future he truly wants.

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!
