A magical story about men in kilts, destiny, healing, and the sometimes twisted path to love by the award-winning author of Compulsion. Helping her aunt organize a Beltane Festival in a picturesque Highland village seems like the perfect escape from Anna’s second broken engagement and the meltdown that wrecked her legal career. But to succeed, she’ll need to wrangle kilt-wearing villagers, dangerous sheep, unruly dogs, and the reclusive laird who refuses to open his property to the public for the ancient tradition of “Sighting.” For centuries, Loch Fàil in Balwhither has been known to locals as a ‘thin’ place, one where the veil between worlds peels back on Beltane morning to reveals the face of a person's one true love. The tradition could draw tourists by the busload, but that’s exactly what Connal MacGregor fears will expose the two secrets he's been desperately keeping hidden. Struggling to mediate between the needs of the village and Connal’s need to protect his identity and his daughter from the media, Anna finds herself falling in love with all of them: Connal and his daughter, the magical glen, the villagers. But day by day, opening herself to love exposes deep scars from Anna’s childhood, and confronting those wounds could finally set her free—or endanger her every chance of happiness.
