Magnus Mackenzie hasn’t been to Dunbeath Castle in nearly three years. Eager to see the clan he fostered with and to visit with his half-sister, Siùsan, he welcomes a trip to visit the Sinclairs. Barely escaping a doomed betrothal, Magnus intends to put the near disaster behind him. He’s unprepared for the beautiful woman he meets just beyond the castle gates. Saoirse Sinclair is not the lass he remembers.
Is beauty only skin deep?
Saoirse Sinclair was fond of Magnus when she was a child. He was kind and fun loving, but the man who arrives to stay with her family stirs feelings in her that he never has before. Doubtful about their age difference, Saoirse’s family is less than supportive as the couple draws closer. But when an inexplicable illness threatens to steal Magnus from her, Saoirse is determined to use her healing skills to protect the man she loves and the future they plan together.
Can this unlikely couple prove everyone wrong?
Clan rivalry and failed alliances threaten to end their relationship when it’s barely begun. Determined to create a long life together, Magnus and Saoirse battle her family’s skepticism and an outside force that’s determined to prevent another Sinclair-Mackenzie bond.
When Magnus comes to visit the Sinclair clan after six years and barely escaping a betrothal to a horrible woman, he is immediately taken back by Saoirse’s beauty and personality now that she is more woman than child. However, her family has a big problem with their change in relationship and the almost 15 year age difference. They sneak about seeing each other and try to show their families that they are serious about their feelings.
The real adventure begins when Magnus suddenly becomes sick and Saoirse must figure out what is wrong and take care of him. When it turns out to be poison, the clan must unravel the puzzle of who could be trying to kill Magnus!
Another great story from Celeste Barclay. Her stories read so smoothly, the romances so believable, and the adventures very exciting! I’ve yet to read a book of hers that I don’t just devour! And, bonus points, because I am ALWAYS sad when the story concludes!
I have yet to read the original Sinclair series, so I’m excited to dive in to those soon!
