Christmas in the Highlands

At the heart of the Scottish Highlands lies a house with a secret...

When Emily MacGregor journeys to her ancestral home of Glenbrae at Christmas, she expects only to find echoes of her past. Instead, she uncovers a centuries-old covenant; bound in stone, sealed in silence; that demands to be honored. With the help of her steadfast third cousin Ewan and the unexpected arrival of Lady Isobel, the last heir of the burned house of Braemor, Emily is drawn into a vow older than any court: a keeping that is not about possession, but about care, memory, and love.

As snowbound storms and the watchful eyes of the Ministry test them, Emily must choose not only whether to claim her place as Keeper of Glenbrae, but how to share the burden of an oath meant for more than one. Alongside grief, discovery, and the weight of history, she finds something she never expected; true love, born in firelight and sealed in winter's hush.

Spanning Christmas celebrations, Hogmanay vows, and the timeless rhythm of Highland seasons, this sweeping story of family, belonging, and tradition will linger long after the last candle is snuffed and the snow has melted from the hills.

A tale of heritage, heart, and hope; where thistle and star shine together, and keeping means never being alone.
