It will cause a rift between Niven and his uncle but it won’t last long.

Immediate Attraction And Many Surprises
A story of two people Deva and Niven who are destined to be together.
They have many things to over come before they can find their HEA.
An exciting tense beginning with two engaging characters along with an interesting
plot that deals with making clans stronger and discovery what love really is all about.
Charismatic attraction from the start, many turbulent happenings, a few shocking and
sizzling moments, betrayals, and more.
Intimacy scenes:✔

There Accidental Love Was A Game Changer
The story is filled with chances, mystery, adventure, deceit, and a strong desire for love and passion. Only desire and love may not be enough to keep them together.
Deva MacLean and Niven MacAulay are a couple that keeps you heart pounding. You don’t know to hope or to cry or to just feel what they are going through.
You will not be able to put this one down. There is a certain rush you get when reading this enticing story

Highlanders Burning Touch

Story was okay.But the story was just a repeat of others.Was not the usual good read from Shona.And the bad brother,well at least that turned out for the better.Extended Epilogue was a disappointment too.Hope your next story is better.

Just Wonderful!!

Shona never ever disappoints with her stories and characters. I just loved this book. I can’t wait to read about Fingal next. That should be an interesting story. 😂💜💜💜💜💜😊😊😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😂

Not the best

This was a good story but so confusing. I highlighted 69 passages that made no sense. I reread so many parts. Someone would leave then be talking. Niven would be leaning down and in the next sentence reaching up. Distances really seemed distorted. Definitely not one I'll read again.

Shona Thompson has written a fascinating story about love at first sight. The characters were engaging and the storyline contained so much suspense, intrigue and deception besides the development of romance.
