I loved a Scot and he loved me.
But something dark observed our joy.
Such happiness should not be.
The man was lost but the place is still there. An old land where ages of footsteps have worn deep divots in the stone stairs, it endures. Love and loss have always been. God willing, it will endure. Scotland calls to the soul. Come, see and touch me. From the hills and glens learn patience to wait as you sit and remember.
From love this series was born.
The MacGrough Clan
NUMBER 2 Listopia's Scotland the Brave...and then some!
**Note: In an attempt to retain the flavor of the times this book uses a modified Scots vernacular for ease of reading.** The story of the MacGrough clan begins in "Highland Light".
Not pretty, Ailene knows her suitors only want the glen. She refuses them all. Her father knows she must have a husband, a laird for the small clan. The 18 Knights Templar who secretly negotiate with Robert Bruce must quietly marry into the clans loyal to him. Among the Knights is Gideon. A ward of the Master, barely a man, the warrior knows nothing else. He is as unprepared as she is ready.
Ailene has seen the young man she wants. She will have him and no other. Gideon has honored the vows of chastity. He has no knowledge of women. He and Ailene must learn together.
But Gideon owes his new King service. No matter how much he wishes to stay with his wife, he has a duty. Scotland is fighting for its life against England. At the same time, Gideon's new home is locked in a vicious internal struggle for power. Enemies are everywhere. The clan is in danger from all sides. The small bedroom they share is the only place where the young couple can find peace.
