It’s Yuletide at Conall Castle.

Christmas is quickly approaching, and Adelle is determined to make this Christmas the best one Conall Castle has ever seen, but loneliness haunts her. Love for her daughter sent her into the past, but she’d not expected the isolation she would feel. A former socialite and serial dater, she finds that her current age seems much older in the seventeenth century than it did in the twenty-first. She resigns herself to the fact that she will remain single for the rest of her days. At least until an unexpected visitor arrives at the castle.

He already broke her heart once...

It’s been four months since Emily’s fiancé, Henry, threw away their engagement for a job offer in Phoenix, and Emily was never one to waste time wallowing in self-pity. Well... maybe she had wallowed just a little bit, but that was over and done with. She’s cut her hair (something Henry never wanted her to do), rearranged her apartment, and started taking Krav Maga at a studio close to work. Henry? Henry who? But her new world comes crashing down when Henry arrives back in Portland. He’s determined to make amends, and Emily is determined never to speak to him again... Feeling like a coward, Emily runs home to Unity Springs. Christmas with her family will help her forget Henry all over again... won’t it?

An Unlikely Heroine

Robena has a place among the inhabitants of Dunnedin, the stronghold of the powerful MacKendimen Clan, and that is as a harlot in their village. Her life is her own and she finds meaning in the pleasure she gives and her work with the midwife and healer. The great wound she’d suffered in her past and the emptiness it caused within her will never be filled, but Robena does not allow that to control her. As the year’s end and its festivities and holidays approach, the news that a certain man will spend time here, and time with her, brightens her spirits in ways she cannot explain. And in ways, she dares not examine too closely.
