Maddie Norton had long since resigned herself to her spinster's lot. Her life was devoted to her simple yet enduring faith, to good works and to the elderly lady whose companion she was. She believed herself content. But that was before her mistress's handsome nephew returned to London, after many years spent abroad as an archaeologist.
The shadows in Reid Gallagher's memory-haunted eyes touched Maddie's heart. When he asked her to travel with his family, to help with his work, she could scarcely refuse. And as she came to know this man better, amid the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish Highlands, she began to wonder if two solitary souls might yet find new life--and love--as one.
This was a great book. I liked how the author made the romance of the book subtle yet you could see them slowly falling in love. Ms. Morren is a great writer this is the second book I have read by her. I also highly recommended "Winter is Past" another book of hers. Read this book you will not be disappointed.
