Synopsis

Running from their pasts

Margaret Dalrousie was once willing to sacrifice all for her calling. The talented artist would let no man interfere with her gift. But now, living in a small Scottish cottage on the estate of Glengarrow, she has not painted a portrait in ages. For not even the calming haven in the remote woods can erase the memories that darken Margaret's days and nights. And now, with the return of the Earl of Linnet to his ancestral home, her hopes of peace have disappeared.

From the first moment he encountered Margaret on his land, the Earl of Linnet was nothing but annoyed. The grieving nobleman has his own secrets that have lured him to the solitude of the Highlands, and his own reasons for wanting to be alone. Yet he is intrigued by his hauntingly beautiful neighbor. Could she be the spark that will draw him out of bittersweet sorrow—the woman who could transform him from a Scotsman in sadness to a Scotsman in love?

About this title

Synopsis:

When Robert returns home after three years away, all he wants to do is mourn the tragedy that sent him away in the first place. But he has no choice but to reenter society as his mother has run his estate in Scotland to the ground in order to force him to return and face his responsibilities. Margaret has finally found a place she can quietly regain her equilibrium and possibly begin to paint again. Once the official painter and darling of the Russian court, a brutal attack sent her running. With the help of an anonymous benefactor, she has settled down into a happy life. That is until her gorgeous and tempestuous neighbor returns and shatters her fragile peace. Neither one is fit for company but a mutual and inexplicable desire tests both of their resolves. And, when Margaret is commisioned to paint a picture for Robert, they may no longer be able to deny their true feelings.

About the Author:

Karen Ranney wanted to be a writer from the time she was five years old and filled her Big Chief tablet with stories. People in stories did amazing things and she was too shy to do anything amazing. Years spent in Japan, Paris, and Italy, however, not only fueled her imagination but proved she wasn't that shy after all.

Now a New York Times and USA Today bestseller, she prefers to keep her adventures between the covers of her books. Karen lives in San Antonio, Texas.
