In a town that shuns her, widow Lilidh MacBrennan fights every day for the chance to love again. But even in death, the legacy of her husband’s crimes continue to punish her. Except her husband is still very much alive. And after six years in an English prison, thinking on all the ways he failed his wife, Mathe MacBrennan is coming home to make amends.
When her husband appears on their doorstep once more, Lilidh and her son must confront a history they thought they’d left behind. And there’s more than forgiveness at stake; with the town in the grip of an uprising against the Laird, Mathe must ask himself how far he’s willing to go to fulfil the promises made to his family. If he delves too deeply into the past, will he ever find his way out again?
