Just Beyond Tomorrow

Skye's Legacy, Book 5

With his father dead and his mother in France, Patrick Leslie, Duke of Glenkirk, discovers the obligations of the estate and its people are now his alone. But during a day of hunting, a chance meeting ensures that he will not be alone much longer, for to obtain the deserted castle and lands adjoining his, Patrick must agree to take something else, as well—a bride.

Flanna Brodie, heiress to Brae, is as vibrant and beautiful as the Scottish countryside, and just as wild. She wants no man—only her freedom. But the passions Patrick awakens in her run deeper than those of the flesh. The independent Flanna is determined to champion the royal Stuarts' cause, and restore Charles II to his throne despite her husband's objections. Patrick knows the dangers of such political intrigues; that the Stuarts have always brought misfortune to the Leslies of Glenkirk, and that a roguish king will ask far more of the naïve duchess than a simple vow of fealty—forcing Patrick and Flanna to choose between the threat of wounded pride, and the promise of a lasting love both secretly yearn for . . .

Contains mature themes.

amazing read

everything about this book was great. the romance was too die for and so captivating.

Fun story line, full of sass and steamy romance.

Loved the factual information that was part of the love story. Wish there was a little bit more at the end of the story to fill in the 11 years gap with the raising of the children. All and all it is a wonderful story line.

Weakest book in the series so far

The main character is frustrating and not very likeable, the plot weak and propped up by endless recaps and historical facts. Struggled to finish
