Scotland Stories

Sorcha MacAlasdair, daughter of a proud Laird, with her quiet beauty and untameable nature, is like the heather that grows across the hills of her Highland home-nurturing, steadfast, and resilient. Betrothed in childhood, her marriage was forged in blood and duty, meant to bind two clans together against a common enemy. She asked for nothing and expected even less from the unwanted union-though in the quiet corners of her heart, she hoped it might become more than obligation. That, perhaps, love might grow from the bond her clan's future depended on. Calum MacRae resented the duty forced upon him. He saw Sorcha as a burden-a symbol of obligation, not choice. His heart belonged to Elspeth-a childhood friend whose charm and ambition shaped the future he believed he deserved. Though his Laird father warned him of sacred vows and the cost of defiance, Calum chose betrayal. He turned his back on Sorcha-insisting she remain a wife in name only. But war changes everything. Calum returns to a home scarred by conflict. A clan whose loyalties have wholly turned away from him. And a future far different from the one he abandoned her for. The woman he ignored-his inconvenient bride-has become the heart of the keep. Sorcha, the heather he once overlooked-wild, rooted, and impossible to break-is now the only thing standing between him and ruin.

Seventeen years have passed since the blood-soaked dawn of 1692. The "Black Sleep" that once gripped the valley has lifted, but the rising sun brings a new kind of fire to the Great Glen. In the wake of the Great Restoration, the North has tasted nearly two decades of hard-won peace-but in the Highlands of 1709, peace is a fragile bloom, easily crushed by the boots of ambitious men. As the three unified houses of McKinnon, Ragnarok, and Collin grow in influence, the eyes of a shifting Scotland turn toward their borders with envy. While the revered Rowan Tree stands tall in the courtyard, its berries ripening like drops of crimson blood, a new generation of the Wolf must find its own path through the mist. The Daughter of Shadow and Light: Gracelyn, now seventeen and a master of the healing arts, finds herself at the center of a gathering storm. As suitor clans descend upon Ragnarok Keep, she must navigate a world where ancient traditions are weapons, every alliance is a hidden blade, and every vow is a potential trap. The Heirs of the Pine: The twins, Lachlan and Elara, twelve years of age and bursting with the fire of their parents, discover that the ghosts of the past are not as dead as the legends suggest. Deep within the Whispering Woods, remnants of old enemies stir, threatening to unravel the tapestry of the three houses. The Weight of the Rowan: Alana, once the lonely healer of a Lowland manor, now stands as a Queen and Mother. She must draw upon the deepest, most guarded secrets of the Earth to protect her children from a cost she never anticipated. In a kingdom where power is as sharp as a thorn and the political landscape of 1709 shifts like sand, can love truly take root, or will the weight of a crown finally crush the spirit of the Rowan? The mountains are calling. The Gathering has begun.

My entry for the ONC 2026.

"A melody carries across the ocean, but can it bridge the gap between two worlds?" Maria Santos was never meant to be a survivor of the Caribbean tides. When a devastating shipwreck tore her family apart on their journey from New Mexico to Virginia, Maria found herself washed ashore in the vibrant, humid heat of Jamaica. With nothing but the clothes on her back and a heart heavy with the memory of her six sisters and brother, she turned to the only thing that couldn't be taken from her: her voice. By day, she works and saves every coin, dreaming of the Virginia soil and the family she prays is waiting for her. By night, she is the "Jewel of the Island," a kind-hearted soul whose songs and dances offer a temporary escape to everyone who hears them. Then comes the night of the Great Jamaican Jubilee. Amidst the swirling colors and the beat of the drums, Maria's eyes lock onto a stranger in the crowd-a man of high standing, with a gaze that feels like a tether. He is Lord John Grey, a man of honor, secrets, and a quiet loneliness that Maria's song seems to pierce. But as the tropical moon rises, the path home becomes more dangerous than the storm that brought her here. Maria finds herself caught in a whirlwind of politics and passion, pulled between the sophisticated, noble Lord John and his headstrong, dashing son, William Ransom. One man offers her the world; the other offers her a fire she never expected. Will Maria find her way back to the Santos family, or will the song of the Highlands-and the hearts of two Englishmen-change her destination forever? {Love and Vote.) {Lord John Grey and Plus Size Female Character and William Ransom} (All credits are my own and the creditors of the series.)
