Synopsis

It’s Yuletide at Conall Castle. Christmas is quickly approaching, and Adelle is determined to make this Christmas the best one Conall Castle has ever seen, but loneliness haunts her. Love for her daughter sent her into the past, but she’d not expected the isolation she would feel. A former socialite and serial dater, she finds that her current age seems much older in the seventeenth century than it did in the twenty-first. She resigns herself to the fact that she will remain single for the rest of her days. At least until an unexpected visitor arrives at the castle... Hew Moray has spent the last twenty years all alone, only leaving his isolated home once a year to pay homage to the wife he lost long ago. When a winter storm causes him to seek shelter at the castle where his sister lives, he meets the first lass since his beloved Mae to make his heart flutter in his chest once again. Will he be able to release himself from his past grief to allow another love to enter his life? If he does, will his love be returned?

About this title

Review

"Bethany Claire has written a wonderful Christmas story that not only brings celebration and hope, but restoration of two people who had believed that the best of their days had passed. The subtle changes of the characters in such a peaceful and easy way make this a story to be treasured. Transcending space and time, love can come from places that we would never expect and when it arrives, we wrap our arms about it and let it take us over. Gentle, beautiful and delightful, A Conall Christmas is a celebration of hope and restoration that will warm the heart of anyone who reads it." - Bil Howard for Reader's Favorite

"A perfect novella companion to the rest of the Morna's Legacy series. Well written and wonderfully enjoyable. I loved that the antagonist in this story was the past that had to be overcome and not an actual third party enemy. Bethany Claire has a wonderful series here and I look forward to reading the next in the series. I almost read this one out of order between books #1 and #2 so be sure to read it AFTER book #2. I would love to read this one again actually at Christmas time but the love and the spirit was there just same even though it is spring. The use of the imagery and my own love of Scotland drew me right into the snowy winter. I loved the idea that Bethany Claire went with using character that aren't just the typical cookiecutter romance novel age appropriate. It was fine when I was younger when every heroine was under twenty-two but I'm very happy in this series and especially this book there is an older heroine and hero who find love." - 5 stars, Midniteillusion

"This was a great read! Short, but covered all the bases. I enjoyed this book because it was about Bri's mother and her adventures. Fun to get to know her along with all the other characters in the series! Make sure to read this one before you read book three. I would recommend this to all who love romantic time travel books." - 5 stars, Dean

"Book #2.5 in the Morna's Legacy series is a delight! The lead characters are so likeable; it's wonderful that they got to have a story of their own. It's so nice to find an author who tells a story about something you are already interested in, but does it in a way that is new and different and refreshing. I'm really looking forward to the next book and I hope Bethany Claire continues this series for a long time." - 5 stars, E Halliday

"I have read many books in my time of reading and this series is the best Ive read in a long long time. It takes you away to be with this family and brings tears and laughter to your face and your heart while you are reading it and makes you never want to stop reading about their amazing lives! Read it, you'll never want to put it down!!" - 5 stars, J. Alley

About the Author

Bethany's love of storytelling has been a life-long passion. Even in her toddler years, she would sit down with anybody that would listen as she theatrically told them fairytales as if she was sharing life-saving information. As she grew, she began creating stories of her own, but convinced it would serve her best to follow a "conventional" career path, she tucked them away and went off to college. Fast forward four years and about six major changes later, she realized the stories simply were not going to stay tucked away. Six months away from graduating with a degree in Elementary Education, and growing more miserable with every day that brought her closer to a career she truly didn't want, she finally realized writing was the only career that was going to make her happy. So, one day in the middle of a summer education course, she got up in the middle of class and walked to the Registrar's office and withdrew from the university on the spot. Since then, she has devoted herself to writing full-time and is following her dreams. Bethany is the author of the Scottish, time-travel romance novels Morna's Legacy Series, which includes the novels, Love Beyond Hope, Love Beyond Reason, and her debut novel, Love Beyond Time. She lives in the Texas Panhandle with her two loyal and perfect dogs.
