These Highland Hills #01: Child Of The Mist

In the harsh Scottish Highlands of 1565, superstition and treachery threaten a truce between rival clans and a burgeoning love between their respective heirs. In the harsh Scottish highlands of 1564, superstitions threaten a truce . . . a traitor plans his attack . . . and a new love is born.

To keep peace between feuding families, Anne MacGregor is betrothed to Niall Campbell. But as accusations of witchcraft abound, Niall wrestles with his suspicions about a traitor in his clan, and the strong and sometimes callous Campbell heir must fight for Anne's safety among disconcerted clan members. Love soon takes the two by surprise--will it be enough to defeat their foes and prevent a war in their beloved land? In the harsh Scottish highlands of 1564, superstitions threaten a truce . . . a traitor plans his attack . . . and a new love is born.

An arranged betrothal was never the course Anne MacGregor imagined her life would take. Yet when her father explains that her cooperation is the only way to bring about the long-sought truce between feuding families, Anne has no other choice.

A simple ceremony pledging Anne's hand in marriage after one year of commitment is the only seal to the promise of peace. But when the arrangement requires the reluctant Anne to follow Niall Campbell back to his home, she soon discovers that peace is not so easily achieved. Before they even arrive, rumors about her abound, and her safety is threatened. Meanwhile, Niall's ascension as leader of his clan is in jeopardy, as a traitor works to bring about his downfall.

As Niall and Anne begin to see beyond each other's defenses, love takes them by surprise. But will it be enough to defeat their foes? Or will the truce be broken, their lives forfeit, and war return to their beloved land? Kathleen Morgan is the author of many books including All Good Gifts, The Christkindl's Gift, and the Brides of Culdee Creek series.
