Read an Excerpt
After barely escaping an abusive marriage, Virginia colonist Killian Campbell swears she'll never allow another man to hurt or control her again. Unfortunately, she and her five-year-old son are now alone in the Scottish Highlands, penniless, and with no way of returning to their plantation in the Virginia colonies. Then, in answer to her prayers, the Lord brings a wind of change in the most unwanted of ways—in the form of yet another troublesome man whose life He places into her hands.
Rumored to have murdered his first wife, Ruarc MacDonald, laird of Rannoch Castle in the valley of Glencoe, has problems aplenty without also taking on those of a strange little foreigner. Still, time and again, fate seems to thrust them together as they fight to survive amidst the feuding, plotting, and hardships of 17th century Highland living.
As an old grudge repeatedly threatens Ruarc's life, his relatives scheme to steal Rannoch, and both he and Killian grapple with their deepest beliefs and fears, storm clouds of political intrigue far beyond Glencoe presage dire retribution for clan MacDonald. Yet even as their carefully built defenses finally succumb to the power of a growing love for each other, the long-feared calamity strikes, threatening to destroy everything. Killian and Ruarc must find a way to stand true through the long, dark night of despair—for their love, honor, and very faith—if they're ever again to Embrace the Dawn.
Winner, 2002 Rose Award for Best Inspirational Romance. Finalist, 2002 Dorothy Parker Awards of Excellence for Mainstream Fiction
