Reunite in this 26,000-word novella with the MacKinnon
brothers and their wives for Christmas—and a tale of love,
new life, and redemption.
The war between Britain and the French is finally at an end,
and the MacKinnons are looking forward to celebrating their
first peacetime Christmas in five long years. While Iain and
Annie have discovered that the pleasures of marriage grow
deeper with time, Morgan and Amalie find themselves at
bitter odds. Meanwhile, Connor and Sarah have a newborn son
to cherish.
The family’s preparations for the holidays are interrupted
when Iain learns that Britain has not paid the Rangers for
the summer’s victorious campaigns. Unwilling to let men who
fought under the MacKinnon name suffer deprivation at
Christmastime, Iain, Morgan, and Connor leave the warmth of
their frontier farm for Albany. There, they find their happy
Christmas, and even their freedom, at risk at the hands of a
ruthless British officer who holds a grudge against them.
With the men gone, Annie, Amalie, and Sarah do their best to
prepare for the festivities despite differing traditions, a
raging bull—and the gnawing fear that their husbands won’t
make it home for Yule.
Events begin the day after the epilogue of Defiant ends. The
story includes Joseph, Killy—and revelations about the fate
of Lord William Wentworth.
