Hero Fraser lives a pampered existence in London. But when her family leaves her destitute, she is forced to journey to her beloved aunt who lives in the wild north of Scotland. Taking shelter in a ruined abbey, she finds more than she ever bargained for. With her in the abbey is the highlander Ciaran MacLoarn -- the last warrior of his clan, sworn to avenge his family's slaughter.
The pair brave the dangers of the Scottish Highlands in search of Hero's mysterious aunt, while also following a trail of clues which may uncover the treachery behind the MacLoarn clan's annihilation. Together, they are drawn over the hills by the power of their desire for freedom, vengeance -- and each other....
As the title suggests this is a real "gem" of a book. Another awesome random pick. It's as Scottish Highlands as you get.. even the dialogue is authentic and a joy to read. I thoroughly enjoyed going on this adventure with Hero & Ciaran along with Finlay, their irascible sidekick! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ of 5
