Highland Ghost

by Kathryn Kramer

Two pair of lovers drawn together by myth and mystery, only to be parted by a heartless betrayal. Refusing to forget the magic of their love they find a passion far stronger than any earthly law, a love as timeless as eternity.

In the misty highlands, Shona of Clan MacKinnon felt isolated and alone. Sent by her father to live with another clan for the sake of an alliance, she soon gave her heart to dark-haired Colm Cameron. She dreamed of becoming his bride and finding happiness at Castle Tor. Little did she know that Colm’s brother, Reid, who coveted everything his brother possessed, would want her for his own.

Colm Cameron was anxious to prove his courage, bravery and daring. Falling in love was not part of his plan, nor did he realize when he kissed a tawny-haired beauty beneath a silvery moon that his life would soon be endangered.

It didn’t take her mystical powers for Bánflùr to become aware of a twisted game of vengeance that marked the handsome stranger she had seen in the forest. Even though he was one of the ‘others’ she felt her life somehow entwined with his. Could she warn him in time or would he become just another ghost that would join the others in haunting the castle, the moors, the woodlands and her dreams?

This book was very well written. I liked the mystical feeling that added just the right touch.

One of my favorite settings for historical romances is the Scottish Highlands. The feuds between the clans offer many true stories that are romantic, tragic, and interesting at the same time. Add in sibling rivalry, ambition, and jealousy for excitement. That the Scots believed in supernatural beings often adds to the story. Such is the case with HIGHLAND GHOST, which is woven very skillfully like the tartans that come from that country. Shona of Clan MacKinnon is sent by her father as a child to live with the Cameron Clan (it is some sort of custom among the highlanders). She is befriended by one of the Cameron brothers but tormented and bullied by the other. When she becomes a young woman, however, all this changes and both brothers are in competition not only for Shona but to be the next in line as clan chieftain. This leads to a betrayal that will have dire consequences and divulge a heartbreaking secret that will include Banfur, a lovely albino who has the power to see the future.
