Finding Emmaline

Synopsis.

Aberdeen, Scotland. 1744

William Kane Blackwood had it all.
The oldest son of a wealthy whisky merchant , the devastatingly handsome bachelor was more than content with his life. He had a wonderful family, good friends, and the freedom to do as he pleased.
His ship, The Pegasus, was his pride and joy, and the jewel of his father's fleet, delivering his family's whisky's all over the world. The gentleman bad boy known affectionately as The Prince of Aberdeen, the ladies loved him, and he loved them.
But when Emmaline Bissete, his childhood friend, walks back into his life after so many years apart, his whole world changes. Suddenly, the thought of spending a lifetime with one woman doesn't seem nearly as mundane as he once thought. Indeed, the idea of marriage and a family of his own becomes rapidly appealing.
But when tragedy strikes, his love cruelly taken from him only a year after they marry, William is left grief-stricken and alone.
Devastated by his loss, racked with guilt over the circumstances of her death, William vows to never love again. Leaving Scotland behind in the hopes of escaping the painful memories, he makes a new life for himself in France, where the handsome widower has kept his heart guarded for nearly three centuries.
But now, he yearns to go home. Back to his beloved Scotland.
Where fate, it seems, isn't quite done with him yet.
