When a mysterious stranger from the castle comes to hide in her shed, Catriona is forced on a journey that leads her to an understanding of what her heart desires. But her stranger’s secrets run deep. Will their love be enough to break through the deceit? Or will duty and responsibility destroy their love? An enchanting tale of love through an unlikely turn of events that could alter the history of their clan...

Two words: emotional connection

Ashley Weston reminds us how critical it is to connect, really connect and feel and love! Her imagination and ability to pull you into this story, to be with the characters, is 1st class. I wanted the story to be mine. I cried with them, I mourned with them, I loved with them. And in the end I wanted to be better than I am, I was resolute. Ashley has a special gift and this is clearly a labor of love. You can tell she put her soul deep into this story. The narrator was second to none, perfect for this.

Absolutely gorgeous!! Cannot recommend this enough!

This book is just beautiful and wonderful. The narrator reading in an Irish accent is just the cherry on top! I couldn’t quit listening to it. Every scene was so detailed and magical feeling. It truly was like watching a movie. Ashley was completely in her wheelhouse when she wrote this. You can tell that her love and joy for this story was woven throughout the entire thing. I wish all books felt this way. It was just amazing!

Just beautiful

I love a good story set in Ireland and a Scottish love makes it even better. After reading the hard copy I was excited for the audio version! Adding the accent to the beautiful story makes it more of an adventure.

Beautiful story!

I adore Brogan & Catriona's intriguing, heartbreaking, caring, loving, hopeful, sweet n swoony happily ever ever!!
