The Thane of Cawdor was a busy man, and his bastards grew as wild (and as numerous) as the thistles on the hills.
Nathan Ros, Thane of the windswept isles in the northern sea, has been eager to find any reason not to return to the cold stones of his keep. Five years ago he lost his beloved wife in childbirth. His young children need the warmth of a mother's love, but he cannot bring himself to remarry, even if it is only in name alone.
Some secrets are meant to be kept... Even from the likes of you.
The Thane of Cawdor's half-sister, Liona Duncan has been content in the knowledge that she would never be the mistress of her own keep. There was enough excitement in Cawdor to keep her busy without the distraction of the Thane of Orkney's cold presence.
But when her brother commands that she leave Cawdor to accompany Nathan Ros north to Birsay, everything Liona thought she knew about him, and herself, will be thrown out of balance.
Cawdor is not Orkney, and the demands of her new position as nursemaid to the laird's children consumes every waking hour of her life--and every secret corner of her heart. But there are secrets to be found behind the salt-crusted walls of Birsay, and Liona is determined to discover the truth behind the whispers in the stone corridors, even if the discovery of it puts her very life in danger.
Reader beware -- A Highland Secret features lots of plaid, possible historical inaccuracies, a curious, high-spirited heroine, and a cold-hearted Highlander to sweep her away. There is no cheating to be found here, NO cliffhanger, and a Highland HEA is guaranteed.
