For generations, the people of Balwhither Glen have kept a secret: on the first of May, when the veil thins between the worlds, the magical loch reveals your one true love. But in a world with media and tourism, no secret is safe forever.
"Delightful, charming, and heartwarming." —New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins
After two broken engagements and a career in shambles, Anna Cameron escapes to the Scottish Highlands to help her aunt organize a festival around the magic of the Sighting. She expects a change of scenery, a chance to breathe. What she finds instead is a place that burrows into her heart—and a landowner and single father whose predicament will upend her plans.
Connal MacGregor has spent ten years hiding his daughter from the scrutiny that followed his famous wife's death, raising his wounded child in the shelter of the glen. The festival the village wants will bring visitors and publicity—exactly what Connal's been desperate to avoid.
As the day of the Sighting approaches, Anna struggles to bridge the two sides and two different worlds. She finds herself falling not only for the warmth and magic of the glen, but for the man who has tried so hard to keep the modern world at bay. Yet as family secrets surface and danger threatens, she and Connal discover that knowing whom you're meant to love doesn't always produce a happily ever after.
In the Balwhither Glen, love at first sight is the beginning of the story.
Award-winning author Martina Boone offers readers a warm, atmospheric romance filled with found family, gentle magic, and the enduring pull of the heart—perfect for fans of Sarah Addison Allen's magical women's fiction, Julie Shackman's Scottish village escapes, Jenny Colgan's heartwarming Highland communities, and Susanna Kearsley's atmospheric sense of place.

Paperback. Condition: Good. A magical Highland romance about men in kilts, destiny, family healing, and the sometimes twisted path to love . . . "Delightful, charming, and heart-warming." --New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins Helping her aunt organize a Beltane Festival in a picturesque Highland village seems like the perfect escape from Anna's second broken engagement and the meltdown that wrecked her legal career. But to succeed, she'll need to wrangle kilt-wearing villagers, dangerous sheep, a disaster of a dog, and the reclusive laird who refuses to open his property to the public for the ancient tradition of "Sighting." For centuries, Loch Fàil in Balwhither has been known to locals as a "thin" place, one where the veil between worlds peels back on Beltane morning to reveal the face of a person's one true love. The tradition could draw tourists by the busload, but that's exactly what Connal MacGregor fears will expose the two secrets he's been desperate to keep hidden. While Anna struggles to mediate between the needs of the village and Connal's need to protect his identity and his daughter, she finds herself falling in love with all of them: Connal and his child, the magical glen, the villagers. But day by day, opening herself to love exposes deeper scars from Anna's childhood, and confronting those wounds could finally set her free--or endanger her every chance of happiness.
