Jessie Pringle's friends think she's nuts and hiding from
memories of a damaging attack by going to Pine Creek,
Maine. However, the tight-knit community, while overbearing
to some, feels absolutely perfect for Jessie. She never
bargained for Ian MacKeage, a man whose attitudes, and many
of his family members, seem to have emerged from the far
past. Jessie's fearful of sharing herself because the
attack left her self-conscious of her damaged body, but Ian
wants to make sure she knows she's beautiful in his eyes. If
this weren't enough for one woman to deal with, she has the
cryptic prophecies of an old trader who seems to know Ian
and his family extremely well.
A sweet story that does not
hide, romanticize, nor vilify how one woman reacts to
trauma, HIGHLANDER FOR THE HOLIDAYS encourages happy
reflections that dreams can come true---particularly when
they're helped along by great characterization, magical
circumstances, and a sweet dog named Toby!
After a brutal attack, Jessie Pringle moved to the small
mountain town of Pine Creek, Maine, to start over. But she
never expected to meet Ian MacKeage, who had seemingly
stepped right out of the Scottish Highlands. As drawn to Ian
as he is to her, Jessie finds it more and more difficult to
deny her own desires...
Then, on one of her long walks through the wilderness, she
meets a kindly hermit who sells her a walking stick-one
imbued with a magic that may allow Jessie to finally be rid
of the pain of her past, and build a future with Ian.
