clairvoyant medieval psychic-abilities romance romancestories scottish

800 years ago in a medieval Scotland not too different from ours...

Lady Alina Kerr, an orphaned soothsayer,  must marry to protect her clan but she'd rather return to her abbey. When she foresees a horde of northern invaders descend on her glen, she worries she's tarried too long in settling on a husband. 

Magnus Sinclair sailed to the lowlands pursuing his sister's abductor. He intended to return to the highlands to resume his role as his clan's best warrior. But something about the lady behind the walls of her clifftop castle beckoned him.

They discover an otherworldly passion with each other but the future holds secrets that threaten their new love and, perhaps, Alina's very life. Will their bond be strong enough to see them through?All Rights Reserved

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

Pool Of Sirens. by DestinyPratt9

Raven was born to protect. Raised in the castle and trained in combat, she became one of the fiercest guards in the kingdom-handpicked to be Princess Dianne's personal guardian. As one of the only women in the guard, her age and gender allowed her to go where others couldn't, including the princess's private chambers. Their bond was unbreakable. Prince Tristan, the heir to the throne, was a royal pain. Four years older than his sister and two years older than Raven, he spent his childhood trying to get the two girls into trouble. But his schemes always seemed to backfire. Now, everything is changing. Raven's father demands she marry. The King and Queen insist their son choose a bride at the upcoming royal ball. Unwilling to lose their freedom, Raven and Tristan form a shaky alliance: pretend to be madly in love until the ball is over. Easy enough-until feelings start to blur and secrets are revealed. When Princess Dianne is kidnapped, and Raven is injured trying to save her, everything else is put on hold. With time running out, Raven and Tristan must travel through the Forsaken-a cursed forest of shadow and bone-to reach the mythical Pool of Sirens. With gods turning against them, and their fragile partnership tested, they'll have to risk everything to bring the princess home.

Carn Mo'r by JimMurison

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.

Her Sister's Fiancé - Book #1 by WriterByNight12

***This is my original work, and if anyone decides to steal it and post it anywhere else without specific permission, I will not hesitate to take legal action against you!!!!*** A girl to take home to one's mother with no fear of sharp disapproval. Sure, she was plain and dull, but she was the sort one could settle down with in a few years after the sowing of the wild oats was completed. . .if one could get past how plain and ordinary she was that is. In truth, Lady Lavinia Antrucha was nothing compared to her sister, Cassandra. She had neither beauty nor social notoriety. . .but at least she didn't leave a trail of broken hearts behind her. She's the one people go to when they're in trouble and don't know what to do, the one who is supposed to be the stronger of the two Antrucha girls, the one her parents expect will stay with them for the rest of their lives, because what man would want to marry plain, little Lavinia? The most sought after bachelor in all of Scotland, the life of any given party, that's what they named Laird Ethan Brodi. He was the toast of high society and the man every mother yearned to see on their doorstep, asking to see their fine daughter. He knew there was something more to life than petty women who couldn't see past his fine physique, and he intended to find it; that is, until his father decided he had spent enough time unmarried and forged an alliance with the rich Antruchas by promising him in marriage to the eldest daughter who would certainly match Ethan in good looks and fine tastes. As far as Ethan was concerned, Lady Cassandra Antrucha could take a long walk off a short pier, but his father's word was law, and so to England he must go to meet his future bride. Can he go through with a marriage when his heart yearns for another? #Wattys2016

Ashes of Desire by RiaAkova

"Alina's life was nothing but misery-a string of heartbreaks, betrayals, and endless pain. Desperate for a way out, she made a deal with the Devil himself, never expecting to become the obsession of Hell's most dangerous ruler. As she's drawn deeper into his world, Alina learns that bargains with demons always come at a cost, and sometimes the greatest danger isn't losing your soul-it's losing your heart. A „tale" of forbidden romance, sharp humor, and unbreakable resolve-where even in the depths of Hell, hope burns brightest."

UNSHEATHED by rsimkin

Exiled from her homeland, Elena found purpose in her work as the Captain of the Guard to the Queen of Kalad--at least, until she was ordered to help a brooding Prince regain his home and release his hostage son. A clever and competent soldier and expert swordswoman, Elena accomplishes this with ease, in spite of the Prince getting in her way. When she discovers the land this difficult Prince rules is exactly what she has always yearned for, she implores him to allow her to stay. It isn't long, though, before she learns that they are threatened by a great evil force. Elena is willing to fight for what she has come to love, and willing to make any sacrifice to protect this special place, if only the Prince will cooperate. If you love a great epic, with magic, sword fights and a little bit of romance, you will love following Elena's story through to its dramatic conclusion. Sequel to 'UnGloved'! (Stands on its own.)

Tigh Na Faol: House of Wolf (A Wulvers Prequel) by Scottish_writer

{Featured Story!} #1 in Supernatural #48 in Romance #5 in Historical Fiction "They say at night, the howls of wolves echo across the land, and in the morning farmers find their animals missing or slaughtered. Keep your wits about you, my dearest friend. Beware of the wolves." 1561 Alba - Scotland Màili is the only child of Catholic Lord, Seumas MacDhòmhnaill, and his wife Màiri. Most of her life has been spent hidden away in the Scottish countryside to keep her away from the rumours rife at court since her Mother's death. Màili knows one wrong move could bring those rumours at her feet too. Cries of witchcraft and gossip about her father's dwindling funds, means Màili's future remains uncertain. Close to destitute, her dowry gone, her only chance - in the eyes of her father at least - comes in the form of an unexpected marriage match from a family willing to pay handsomely for Màili's hand. It's an offer her father dare not refuse. Quickly married to a man she doesn't know, Torian Lyall flouts Màili's every belief in what is expected from her as a wife. Nor do he or his family seem overly interested in following Catholic tradition. Trapped amongst people so different from her, speaking a language she barely remembers from childhood, she's whisked away to her new home farther North than she's travelled before. The wild and mountain filled Highlands are a beautiful place; where purple heather and thick forests covers the land, and mighty sea winds batter the waves against ancient rock. Myth and mystery swirl as thick as the grey mists in the glens, where creatures from old stories are said still to roam. And the Lyall family have secrets of their own. Secrets that might involve her in some way. Secrets that make Màili hold her friend's advice closer than she thought she'd need to... Beware of the wolves. . .

Skye woke up in a strange town, her clothes drenched in blood and her mind void of memories. The eerie silence of the streets only amplified her panic. An older couple found her and took her in, offering shelter. At first, they seemed kind, but soon their kindness turned bitter, and their compassion twisted into cruelty. Unable to endure their accusations, Skye fled into the night, wandering aimlessly through desolate roads. One night, she witnessed something horrifying: two men transforming into monstrous wolves. Their glowing eyes locked onto hers. In that moment, Skye realized the terrible truth: no human was ever supposed to witness this. And those who did... never lived to tell the tale. Before she could flee, they seized her, dragging her into their world of ancient secrets, power struggles, and untold danger. Now trapped, she found herself caught in a deadly game, one where the players weren't fully human and the rules were impossible to understand.But there was something about her forgotten past that could shift the balance of power within the pack. Her search for the truth had only just begun, but it was clear that uncovering her past might cost her more than her freedom-it could cost her life.. or maybe, it could cost them theirs.
