I lost two of the most important women in my life

this last year—my sister and my mother-in-law.

They were both amazing, strong, loving women

and I will miss them terribly.

To MaryAnn, my sister, who fought valiantly to live

but died with grace. Mar, I miss you.

To the other Theresa Brisbin, my mother-in-law,

who gave me her eldest son to marry and who was

one of my very first readers. Mom, I learned so much

from you and appreciated your help and guidance

all these years. You’ve earned your rest, lady.

Acknowledgements

I want to thank the Editorial staff at Mills & Boon for all their support, patience and understanding as I wrote this book. Thanks to Linda Fildew, my editor, for always being kind and having my back, and to Bryony Green for understanding the difficult challenges and losses that life has thrown at me these last two years.

Thanks to my agent, Pam Hopkins, who calmly answered my panicked calls and emails as I wrote this book. And for her guidance and support while I struggled to find the story that grief had almost destroyed.

And a special thanks to Susan Zen-Ruffinen, my stalwart companion, who travelled with me to Scotland to find all the Clan Cameron places. She became my research assistant, my videographer (on some hysterical travel videos!) and allowed me to take any turn-off on any road in the Highlands and Islands except one—Bealach na Bà, over the mountains to Applecross! Next time, Susan!

About the Publisher

Prologue

The Lands of Clan Cameron, Loch Arkaig, Scotland —the year of Our Lord 1358

Anna Mackenzie watched as Malcolm walked to the edge of the falls and began the long and dangerous climb down the slippery rocks. She tried to stop herself, but she ran to the edge when his head disappeared and she kept him in sight until he reached the bottom. He turned and waved to her before moving off into the forest towards the village and keep near the loch.

Sighing as she wrapped her arms around herself, Anna closed her eyes then and allowed the memories of the last hours to surround her once more. They had laughed and run and kissed...and loved. She loved him more than her own life.

For Malcolm, the only son of Euan Cameron, had braved the rumours and stories about the witch of Caig Falls and come to find the truth. And he’d found Anna, not her mother. She sighed again for they’d found love. It mattered not if she was the daughter of the ‘witch’ and he the son of the chieftain. It mattered not if they were young. It simply mattered that they were in love and would be together. They made vows to be together and he’d given her a sign of that promise which she carried now close to her heart.
