Beloved Highlander
Meg Mackintosh has dreamed of Gregor Grant ever since her father acquired his former lands in Glen Dhui. But when she asks him for his help against the threat of a powerful neighbour, she realises the man she imagined is nothing like the real Gregor. Meg is drawn to this handsome and charismatic stranger, and she soon finds her sensible nature battling with visions of a future with him.

Now a Captain of Dragoons, he has no hope of regaining the future he once dreamed of. And then Meg arrives, needing his help, and he finds himself beginning to believe. Not just for the life he lost, but for a new life, with the beautiful Meg. As they work together to save the estate, Gregor falls more and more under her spell. How can he persuade the fiery lass that she is his everything? Can Gregor and Meg find the happy ending they have both been craving? Or will others tear them apart?
