The Highlander’s Promise: Highland Destinies, #1

By Aileen Adams

Myrnella's too young to be a widow. She misses Duran, who was more like a best friend and a brother than a husband. She's haunted by his brutal murder and fears the perpetrators of that heinous act will come after her next. Yet, she has no choice. She must run the inn and the other businesses her husband left her.

 

Highlander Arran's on a mission. He's going to touch base with his old friend Duran. His shock is two-fold when he finds out that Duran has passed and that his beautiful young widow is being harassed by a pair of ne'er-do-wells. Arran's made a promise to Duran. He's made a vow that he would die to keep. Will his feelings for the lovely highland widow interfere with his promise?
