A magical new love story about destiny, secrets, family, healing, food, men in kilts, and the sometimes twisted path to love from the award-winning author of Compulsion. “Delightful, charming, and heartwarming!” NYT bestselling author Wendy Higgins

Helping her aunt organize a Beltane Festival in a tiny village nestled among the Highland braes of Scotland seems like the perfect escape from Anna Cameron’s broken engagement and the mistake that ended her legal career. But to help the cash-starved village, she’ll need to wrangle dangerous sheep, kilt-wearing villagers, a determined saboteur, and the objections of the local laird who stubbornly refuses to open his property to the public for the ancient tradition of “Sighting.”

Loch Fàil has always been known to locals as a “thin” place, one where the veil between worlds peels back on Beltane morning to show the face of a person’s one true love. The tradition has been closely guarded, resulting in generations of love and hope and heartache. It could draw tourists by the busload, though, which is exactly what Connal MacGregor fears will reveal the secrets he’s desperate to keep hidden.

While Anna struggles to mediate between the needs of the village and Connal’s need to protect his identity and his disfigured child, she finds herself falling in love with all of them: Connal and his vulnerable daughter, the magical Highland glen, the villagers. But day by day, opening themselves to an honest relationship exposes deep scars in both Anna and Connal and reveals fractures centuries deep within the village. Confronting those wounds could finally set Anna and Connal free to love with their whole hearts–or endanger their every chance of happiness.

A story to sweep you away in Highland magic, Lake of Destiny is a journey of love, family, and healing, perfect for fans of BBC’s Monarch of the Glen and the books of Nora Roberts, Susanna Kearsley, Susan Wiggs, Sarah Addison Allen, Susan Mallery, and Diana Gabaldon.
