A stormy Highland night, an everlasting love...
Evan Mackenzie, newly Earl of Kildonan, returns to his remote Highland estate for a climbing holiday with no intention of staying. Haunted by guilt after a tragedy, he plans to sell his vast property and settle in Edinburgh-until fate strands him on a snowy mountaintop with a spirited Highland beauty.
Dedicated to collecting Highland songs and legends, Catriona MacConn crosses the steep, familiar glenside one snowy night only to encounter a handsome stranger. A rescue, shelter from the storm, and a passionate interlude lead to a hasty marriage that neither wants-especially when Catriona discovers that her groom is the glen's estranged earl. Though Evan dares hope this extraordinary young woman can help him heal at last, his reluctant countess protects a dangerous secret that could change the fate of the glen-and turn away the earl who has won her heart.
Caught between love and loyalty, each must find a way to heal the past, even if it means surrendering the love of a lifetime...
