Hidden within the stone walls of Castle MacCoinneach is the seemingly quiet realm of Paroseea, yet danger now stalks the halls of the castle, seeking vengeance and patiently awaiting the return of the fallen laird. When the ghost of Padruig MacCoinneach’s beloved sister sends him back to the highlands and a life he forswore, he promises to do anything to save his remaining sister and aid his clan. He never expected, however, that he would have to marry his ally’s daughter, Aimli, whom he deems both a reckless child and a potent temptation. Together they will have to overcome their anger and doubt to find trust, love, and ultimately safety for themselves and their clans.
