The Renaissance of Baird Drummond (Castle on the Loch)

Sun, 06 Aug 2023 22:36:19 +0300

Family has to be resolved and wrongdoings undone. Love recognised, accepted and returned. Then, only then, can life move forward. Or can it? Baird Drummond is the only one who can help his ancestors correct wrongdoings after Culloden. Now, centuries later, he’s the one who appears to be learning what life has in store for him, and he’s not happy about it at all. A teacher exchange to Wanaka in New Zealand? He’s all for that. Until he gets told the Wanaka Tree is important to his family—but not why. Or why his new landlady isn’t overjoyed to meet him. It’s not that restaurant owner Helena actively dislikes him—she suspects it’s anything but. However, she has enough on her mind without considering whether she might have a future with Baird. Like people appearing in front of her who aren’t really there, youths wondering if she’s worth robbing, and a dishwasher with a mind of its own. With each other’s help, they can thwart the potential robbers and solve the mystery of Baird’s heritage. Then and only then can they look forward to the future.

Marry within three months or lose everything that is not entailed. David refuses. If that’s what his father thinks of him, he can go to the devil. He will marry when he is ready and not before. What a shock then, a year later, when the one woman he is interested shows no interest in him! It’s up to him to persuade her he’s the right husband for her, and when he does…sparks fly. Can these two strong-willed people ever learn how to compromise and find that in fact they are the perfect match?

FROM BESTSELLING ROMANCE AUTHOR RAVEN MCALLAN

Book one in the Castle on the Loch series

History, family, fate. Accept it or deny it at your will.

The day you discover your boyfriend is using you as a free meal ticket and a way to save his money is the day to say bye-bye.

Marcail Drummond does better than that.

She sells up, plans the rest of her life and heads north. It's time to go home, to a castle on an island in a Scottish loch, and face up to the fact she's not quite the same as the rest of her family.

They can see the past—and the future—and hear others. Heal the sick and help the broken hearted.

She can't.

After all, talking to yourself just isn't the same thing, even if one of the voices in your head is male and argues a lot.

As far as Marcail is concerned, it's just her way of amusing herself.

To Paden it's more than that.

To him it's matter of life and death.
