Be sure to read THE GATHERING, the first in the series, to avoid spoilers. A damsel in distress... When Grace returns home to Texas for her big sister’s wedding, she thinks she has all her bases covered. She’s even hired a Scottish actor to play the part of her made-up boyfriend But if he doesn’t arrive soon, she may as well confess all, move back to town, and give in to the dark side of the family oil business. A knight in plaid armor... As HIghlander or ghost, patience has never been Fitz Payton’s strong suit. To prove himself both brave and expeditious, he’s willing to finally leave the puddle of blood he lost on the moor 270 years ago. But when his feet find solid earth again, the first lass he meets brings his heart and boots to a standstill. He only prays he’ll be able to save his Grace before it’s time to bleed again. GARETH is next. A NOTE ABOUT THE SERIES: Although the individual stories of Culloden’s 79 need not be read in strictest order, The Gathering should definitely be read first to understand what’s going on between the Muir Witch and these Highland warriors from 1745. The Reckoning will finish the series.
