Lachlan Maclean has followed his king into hell. Honor and
duty are what matters. Pain turns into nothingness as his
world goes black.
Kimbra Charleton is a widow, once riding side-by-side with
her husband on raids across the border into Scotland. The
Charletons are a large family and have been reivers for
over a century, considering it a respectable profession.
Kimbra must protect her daughter and safely keep the home
she loves, so she continues to follow the wishes of the
Charleton clan. This means scavenging from the dead bodies
on the battlefield.
It's on Flodden Fields that Kimbra comes across the body of
a badly wounded Scottish warrior. Maybe she can make a few
extra coins by healing him and selling him for ransom. Call
it destiny, but her heart and conscience tell her something
different. She hides him, promising to come back under the
cover of darkness. It's a dangerous plan, but one she knows
she must do. Kimbra knows he's a Scot, her sworn enemy, but
this gentle giant of a man is melting away the wall of ice
she has built around her heart.
Lachlan Maclean remembers only fleeting images of his past
as his wounds are tenderly treated by a feisty, courageous
English woman. For some unknown reason, because he can't
even remember his name, Kimbra is not only healing his
wounds but is also healing his broken soul, giving him a
reason to survive.
BELOVED STRANGER is another beautiful and exquisite journey
of the heart by one of my favorite authors. Patricia
Potter is a master storyteller, who gives readers
stories to simply enjoy. Her characters are unforgettable,
and her books always touch a secret place in my heart. I
loved Rory's story in BELOVED IMPOSTOR, the exciting
beginning to this wonderful Scottish trilogy. And Lachlan's
story is a gem. Don't miss this enchanting Scottish tale; a
love story to remember. And there's one more brother to go!
With BELOVED IMPOSTOR, Patricia Potter launched a trilogy
of three Scottish brothers bound by a dark destiny. Now,
she returns with the story of Lachlan Maclean, a man who
has lost his past and faces an uncertain present of peril--
and an impossible love.
