Writes:

Celeste Barclay writes historical romance that brings the heat. Set mostly in the Scottish Highlands, Celeste’s books have swoon-worthy heroes and feisty heroines.

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:

  • Loves Highlander and medieval hunks
  • Loves lots of steam
  • Loves a close family with plenty of banter
  • Loves a heroine who’s resourceful and intelligent
  • Loves a hero who’s a devil on the battlefield but an angel with his heroine

 

What to expect if we're compatible:

  • Fall in love with men who are strong and women who are fierce
  • A need to go back and read the first generation in The Clan Sinclair
  • Characters who put family first and believe in love, honor, loyalty, and duty
  • Steamy scenes that’ll leave you needing a glass of water

HIGHLAND JEWEL by Celeste Barclay

The Clan Sinclair Legacy #3

Highland Jewel

Is age just a number?

Magnus Mackenzie hasn’t been to Dunbeath Castle in nearly three years. Eager to see the clan he fostered with and to visit with his half-sister, Siùsan, he welcomes a trip to visit the Sinclairs. Barely escaping a doomed betrothal, Magnus intends to put the near disaster behind him. He’s unprepared for the beautiful woman he meets just beyond the castle gates. Saoirse Sinclair is not the lass he remembers.

Is beauty only skin deep?

Saoirse Sinclair was fond of Magnus when she was a child. He was kind and fun loving, but the man who arrives to stay with her family stirs feelings in her that he never has before. Doubtful about their age difference, Saoirse’s family is less than supportive as the couple draws closer. But when an inexplicable illness threatens to steal Magnus from her, Saoirse is determined to use her healing skills to protect the man she loves and the future they plan together.

Can this unlikely couple prove everyone wrong?

Clan rivalry and failed alliances threaten to end their relationship when it’s barely begun. Determined to create a long life together, Magnus and Saoirse battle her family’s skepticism and an outside force that’s determined to prevent another Sinclair-Mackenzie bond.

If you love scorching romance that will sweep you away to the medieval Scottish Highlands, you’ll love Celeste Barclay’s newest installment to The Clan Sinclair Legacy.

Highland Jewel is the third installment in Celeste Barclay’s STEAMY spinoff from The Clan Sinclair and The Highland Ladies. This highly in demand new series takes readers back to where Celeste began with the next generation in The Clan Sinclair Legacy. This STEAMY collection will continue to prove that in the Sinclair family, the men are strong, and the women are fierce.
