2014 RWA RITA Award finalist for Best Historical Romance and 2014 Romance Writers of New Zealand (RWNZ) KORU Readers' Choice Award winner!
Euan McArthur is a chieftain in need of an heir.
While still a young a warrior, Euan incites the fury of a witch. She retaliates with a curse that no wife will ever bear him an heir. As he buries his third wife and yet another bonnie stillborn son, Euan can no longer cast her words aside.
Morag Farquhar is a woman in need of sanctuary. With a young relative in tow, Morag flees the only home she has ever known to escape her brother, Baron of Wolfsdale, and find sanctuary in the MacArthur stronghold. Pronounced barren by a midwife, Morag is of little value to her family, but a Godsend to Euan, a lover he can't kill by getting with child.
Years ago, chance drew them together, and tangled their lives in ways they could never have imagined. This time their destiny lies in their own hands, but it will take courage and strong hearts to see it through to the end.
Customer Reviews
Liked it even with these criticisms
Lots of errors (Graeme written as Graham), words not edited out where they should have. Commas where there shouldn’t have been, none where they should. Inconsistencies in the story (she didn’t turn a lamp on, then there was one ‘still on’). ‘In less than an instant’ doesn’t really make sense and I would not expect that of a published author. The switch between POV’s wasn’t always clear and frustrating to figure out. There was a glossary included, however it was incomplete. I feel as it was added in the first place it could have been more complete as there were plenty of words I had to get the definition of elsewhere. It seems pointless to have a glossary and still have to outsource definitions. Spelling mistakes - flair should have been flare.
Despite this, I loved the storyline and the book. I liked the unfurling of secrets. The main characters were complex and interesting, the side characters giving the story much depth. With another edit it would be a 5 star book.
