Lachlan's Heart: Book Two of The MacCulloughs (The MacCulloughs #2)

The Saga of the MacCulloughs continues...

Lachlan MacCullough never held any dreams or aspirations of being chief or laird of anything, let alone holdings as large and vast as those they have just wrested from the cold dead fingers of one Randall Chisolm. But no man can rule two keeps. Acquiescing to the request of his cousin, Black Richard, Lachlan finds himself acting as laird of the keep until Richard and Aeschene's first born is old enough to take over.

Twenty years is a long time to rule over something that isn't truly yours. And what about his heart? There is only one woman for him. However, she is completely unaware that he gave his heart to her the first time he saw her.

Known by the MacCullough clan as the auld whore, Keevah lives under the shadow of her past life, tormented by old rumors, and scorned by those around her. Even amongst others, she is always alone... but she never knew how lonely she was until Aeschene, Black Richard's bride, and her maid, Marisse, befriend her. It's only with the help of her new friends that Keevah finally begins to see how bleak her life has been and the brightness that her future could hold.

While Keevah would never begrudge her friends their happiness, seeing what a marriage ought to be sparks a longing inside of her. But it's a foolish dream, because there is no man alive who could accept Keevah and her bitter past.

Will Lachlan finally find the courage to tell the woman he loves what is in his heart? Will he be able to accept her past? And will Keevah ever find the happiness she desires?
