The Heart of the Emerald (The Clan Maclaren #3)

Ross, Juliet and son, Alec, return to Glenhaven in the Scottish Highlands with heavy hearts. They have reluctantly said goodbye to Ross’ two sisters. Glynis and Heather, along with Heather’s husband Jamie, who had to flee Scotland after the 1715 Uprising.

When the couple returns home, troubling news greets them. While away, pompous and entitled John Alder, heir to the Duke of Essex and Juliet’s old suitor from England, had come to the castle looking for them. He is now on the brink of madness, driven by one thought. Find Juliet and make her his own. Fearful for her son’s safety, Juliet will do anything to protect Alec, but Ross may have a plan of his own.
