Set in the early 1950's Carn Mo'r is a romance set in the Ladder hills, in Scotland, in the heart of the old whiskey smugglers country. Badly wounded in the last days of the Second World War, Sir Alisder Sinclair was never expected to make a full recovery; those that suspected such, never realised the healing power of the Alisder's native Mountains. Alisder and many of his men fell to the guns of an American Fighter Aircraft. Having survived so much, it was a bitter blow. In the field hospital one American redeems himself in the eyes of the Highlanders. Six years after the war is over, a weary Dr Colwin takes a trip to the Highlands with his Daughter Robyn. Robyn has spent the last few years looking after her grievously ill mother. Exhausted, father and daughter look forward to a short holiday at the invitation of Sir Alisder; given while lying on a hospital, but never forgotten. Now two hearts and two cultures are about to collide. Can the Clan forgive the grievances of the past and let true love flourish? Sir Alisder is about to face his last battle, but not with a ruthless enemy. A battle with his own heart and the hearts of his clan.

"Y-you," she stuttered, staring at the handsome man sitting on the sleek black throne, "you're..." He rolled his eyes, waving his hand impatiently and said, "Hades. Come on, say it with me. Ha-des." "Hades," Ariel breathed out, still not believing the sight before her. Every picture she had seen of the gods had not depicted Hades' beauty. The god sitting before her was not a crusty old man with a white beard; no, he was a Calvin Klein model. "Yes," Hades clasped his hands together and grimaced, "the God of Death and riches; that's me." Ariel nodded, still refusing to believe but knowing she had to and Hades' grimace turned even bitter, "And you, darling, will be staying with me for quite some time." ~*~ Cover: _nymphomaniac Published: 8/6/14
