(2015)(The first book in the Return To Kintail series)
A novel by Sue-Ellen Welfonder
If you love Highlanders and passionate romance, this one's for you...
Mairi MacKenzie can bring the dead back to life. But her fame as a special healer is a curse too much to bear, and she takes refuge in the Glen of Winds. Many are her reasons for hiding from the world, allowing folk to believe she's a banshee. Clan MacKenzie protects her as one of their dearest treasures. Only Mairi knows how unworthy she is of her clan's devotion.
Sir Gare MacTaggert only desires redemption. Once counted amongst Scotland's greatest warriors, he hasn't lifted a sword in years because of a battlefield tragedy that broke his soul. All that is left to him is his clan and his home, and now he stands to lose them as well. Scotland's crown wants his corner of the realm strengthened and so a King's writ has ordered him to forge an alliance - through marriage.
Yet his honor won't allow him to wed any woman, dead as he is inside. He seeks the aid of the Glen of Winds banshee, but before she can restore his will to live, they must face a greater challenge: the forbidden love that could destroy them.
