About this ebook
As the battle at Flodden Field rages, Lachlan Maclean rides with King James IV of Scotland, sworn to vanquish their English enemies and find redemption for the past that haunts him. But as the battlefield runs red with blood, Lachlan realizes they’re fighting a losing battle. Thrown from his horse, he awakens to find a lovely angel of mercy tending him . . . and no memory of who he is.
Once, Kimbra Charlton rode alongside her husband on daring border raids that targeted English and Scottish alike. Now the desperate widow combs battlefields for anything of value to make sure she and her young daughter survive. When she stumbles on a wounded soldier, she recognizes the armor and helmet of her people’s sworn enemy. A Scotsman killed her husband, yet she can’t let this man die—nor can the world know his true heritage. It is a secret on which both their lives depend. But as passion ignites between them, they must face the consequences of their impossible love.
Beloved Stranger is the 2nd book in the Scottish Highland series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Julianna Morris happily reports that she and her own Mr. Right are working on a shoreline home in the Great Lakes area. Not only does Mr. Right get along with her cat, but he's introduced her to the chaotic joy of a multiple dog household. Of course, the cat still rules, but felines are loveable dictators...most of the time. Her feline sidekick is now over 20 pounds, leading some visitors to suspect she has a mountain lion living in the house. One of his cherished pastimes is pulling paperback books out of the bookshelf. He's quite comical standing on his hind legs, slipping and sliding on the books already on the ground, yet determined to clear the rest off of the shelf. In Julianna's opinion anyone who lives with a feline-or a husband-desperately needs a sense of humor. Luckily hers is quite intact and a little offbeat, so she laughs when those books come off the shelf, instead of worrying about having to pick them up again. Like a cat, Julianna is curious about everything. Her interests range from history, science and photography, to antiquing, traveling, walking, gardening and reading science fiction. She draws, paints, collects teapots and recipes, has taught classes in American patchwork and quilting, and tries to find time for everything else she wants to do. People often ask about her favorite movies and actors, and the answer changes constantly. But she's particularly fond of old movies, like The Wizard of Oz, The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, and The Major and the Minor. More recent movies she's enjoyed are Calendar Girls, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Luther. As for actors and actresses, she thinks Cary Grant was gorgeous, Jean Stapleton marvelously talented and that Sean Connery is sexy at any age. Julianna's love of writing was born out of a passion for reading-one of her most valued possessions as a child was her library card. The worlds opened by books were such magical places that it wasn't long before she wanted to create a few of her own. Her first Silhouette book was published in August 1995.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very exciting book about the Scotish in the early 15th century
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Kimbra Charlton was unlike the other women of her acquaintance. Kimbra is daring and once rode with her late husband on raids and their short time together was precious and then once she had given birth to her daughter, her child became her priority. When her husband is killed, she is at the mercy of their clan and her husband's cousin Cedric who would rule their home with abuse. Desperate to keep feeding her daughter, she goes with others to Scavenge from the dead from a recent battle. While searching, she finds a live injured man, who is Scottish. She can't bear to have him killed so she secretly brings him back to her home, a man that doesn't have any memory of who he is or where he has come from. As Kimbra starts to aid Lachlan into healing, she knows that despite their feelings for each other, she doesn't know how they could be together. She is English and he is a Scot, but can she give her heart to a man that may abandon her when she needs him most?Beloved Stranger is the second book in the trilogy, and I have just started reading books from this author, and have fallen in love with her writing style. When I started reading this I didn't know what to expect, especially since I loved the first book. Once I started reading Beloved Stranger I literally couldn't put this one down, and I didn't, not once. I was so involved in the story, I refused to go to bed until I found out what happened, and boy was I satisfied by the ending. The story is riveting from the beginning, and I loved seeing these two together. Kimbra is a fighter, and I loved seeing her ingenuity with the circumstances she is put in. I really was charmed by her little girl, that had me wrapped around her finger, definitely made me want to have a child just like her, she was very endearing. Lachlan was the perfect hero. He was caring, protective, and loving. I loved how he treated Kimbra and Audra. And once he gains his memory, he becomes even more hero worthy in my book. I enjoyed seeing these characters interact with one another, and I loved how powerful their connection is to each other.Overall a outstanding romance that won my heart! Beloved Stranger is a powerful and riveting story that flows with emotion and vivid detail, with distinctive characters, a compelling blend of desire, danger and historic detail. A ENCHANTING PAGE TURNER!!!
