Description de l’éditeur
He's a Highland mercenary. She's the noblewoman he abandoned. Can the child he never knew about and the woman he never forgot save him from a dark fate this Christmas?
The Scottish Highlands, 1308. Infamous mercenary Hamish Dunn betrayed a powerful clan leader and is now pursued by killers almost as ruthless as himself. After a deadly duel, a Highland faerie convinces him to travel to Carlisle for a job that will provide enough gold to escape and live in peace.
Deidre Maxwell has a dangerous secret. She's not a widow but a disowned noblewoman with an illegitimate daughter. After being cast aside by Hamish nine years ago, she'll never let herself or her daughter, Maeve, be hurt again.
When Hamish visits the warden of the West English March, he finds more than the job he's looking for. He finds the love of his life working as a wet nurse. How did she fall to this fate? And will she ever forgive him when she learns he has been hired to kill her father?
A Christmas romance and a child's love could heal their wounded hearts and give Hamish and Deidre the family they both crave—if they can beat the corrupt warden at his own game.
Highlander's Christmas is a historical novella connected to the enthralling Called by a Highlander time travel romance series. If you like reunion romances, secret babies, and dark alpha heroes, then you'll devour Mariah Stone's passionate tale of forbidden love.

Avis d’utilisateurs
A lovely second chance romance
Will they find a way out of their own predicament...
While this tale is not a time travel romance, it is linked to the Called by a Highlander series, I remember Hamish from the first book, while he chooses the wrong path in Highlander’s Captive, he was a broken man, a lost soul and I felt very sorry for him.
I am glad the author decided to give him closure.
And there is no need to have read the other books to appreciate this one.
Hamish’s view of life was overthrown when he lost the only person who loved him, since he refused to get attached. Why despite his feelings for Deirdre, he left her behind. He is a man who ran away for commitment, scarred to be hurt if he may fail or loose.
Deirdre lost everything upon Hamish’s departure so many years ago, after struggling, she has found a position which permits her to feed and house her daughter. It also shattered her faith in people. Still she is resolved to offer the best she can to her child.
I am impressed by the author, she used Deirdre’s predicament and twisted it to offer her a situation I have never read a heroine to have before.
And while Hamish is a stubborn fellow, very attached to his ideas of loneliness, will a little girl’s sorrow move his heart?
4.5 stars for this moving read.
