Greylen and Grace Sutter-MacKeage believe their daughter
Camry is hard at work as an astrophysicist for NASA until a
complete stranger tells them differently. Camry had been
carrying on a spirited scientific debate by e-mail with
Luke Pascal, but about a year ago she ended the
communications with the man. About that same time Camry
quit her job, sold her condo, and "forgot" to mention these
life-changes to anyone, including her family. Luke has
come to the U.S. to meet this woman and also to confess to
Grace Sutter-MacKeage that he is responsible for destroying
Podly -- Grace's satellite in outer space.
A mysterious card postmarked Go Back Cove, Maine suggests
Camry is living there, and Grey wants to go rescue her.
Grace, however, believes that Luke should do this instead,
and as usual the ageless Scottish warriors bows to his
wife's intuition. So, Luke is off to Go Back Cove to
convince Camry she must be home for her birthday, which she
shares with her six sisters on the winter solstice in two
weeks.
Camry works part-time as a bartender, and full time as a
pet sitter in the small community of Go Back Cove. She
has no plans to go home, as she considers herself a
failure. Luke's appearance in her life, along with a run-
away teen-ager, really complicates things.
Janet Chapman gifts the reader with an extraordinary
seasonal story full of laughter, romance, and magic.
Camry and Luke come face-to-face with the future and the
past, even though they don't realize that while it is
happening to them. Visits with the MacKeage and the
MacBain clans are always greatly entertaining and A
HIGHLANDER CHRISTMAS will satisfy long-time and new fans
alike as they share a special time with very special people.
Camry MacKeage has absolutely no intention of telling her
parents that she left her job as a NASA physicist for the
small-town life of a dog-sitter -- which is why she's
spending the holidays alone in coastal Maine with her furry
friends Tigger and Max. Unfortunately, her irresistibly
handsome rival, scientist Luke Pascal, accidentally spilled
the beans. Now he's on a mission from her mother to tempt
Camry home for the family's annual winter solstice
celebration. But Luke is hiding his own secret, and he'll
need a little bit of magic to earn Camry's trust...and a
whole lot of mistletoe to seduce his way into her heart.
