Publisher Description
Some say the Isle of Outerson was once part of the mainland when one day the hands of a giant tore it free and set it adrift where it settled in a large loch. According to the myth the giant continues to reside there protecting the isle and the clan who inhabits it, the fierce Clan Norham. There is one problem though, the giant haunts the keep.
Lord Torin is the present-day lord, and he needs a wife. He isn't particularly interested in marriage, but he has a duty to his clan. He wants a wife who is pleasing to the eye, obeys his word, and holds her tongue. He will not abide a chatty wife. So, when he accidentally comes across Flora of Clan Strathearn, who barely utters a word, he believes he has found the perfect wife and proposes a marriage arrangement that is quickly accepted.
Flora cannot believe that she barely arrives at her uncle's home in the Highlands when he weds her to a complete stranger. She had never wanted to come to the Highlands but with her parents' death she had no choice. She also has little to say, literally, since an illness has robbed her of all but a whispery voice that continues to heal. Normally, she loves to converse, to challenge opinions, to gain knowledge as her scholarly father had taught her. How she will ever survive the Highlands, let alone her marriage she did not know.
Then, of course, there is the ghost which Flora believes does not exist and sets out to prove it.
Obstacles abound, challenges faced, and when Flora is given a chance to leave the isle and dissolve the marriage, does she take it? Or will Torin finally admit he loves her and refuse to let her go? Or will the ghost decide their fate?
Note: While this trilogy does not need to be read in sequence, each book a standalone, Tavia and other characters from Highland Myth Trilogy were first introduced in Highland Secrets A Cree & Dawn Novel… a prelude of sorts to their individual stories.
Customer Reviews
Totally enchanting!
This book is a wonderful story. I found myself an thralled throughout this book. It has passion. It is hilarious at times and very suspenseful. I could not put this book down. Thank you so much for this enchanting story I loved it and I am going onto the next one with fia.
A great mystery
Oh my goodness! This was a nail bitter and kept me on the edge of my seat. There’s a mystery abound with intriguing clues as to who or if there ever was a giant and a ghost. Torin and Flora follow the clues to solve the mystery.
A Highland Story
This is the second book in the series and if you love the Highlands,this is a definite read. I just love the characters in this book. Flora is intelligent and loves to talk. Lord Torin thought he was getting a quiet wife but boy was he in for a surprise. Flora and Lord Torin do fall in love and it was fun to see their interactions as well as the interactions of the other characters. I recommend this book.
