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. . .
