Romance Historical

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!
