Highlander's Christmas (Called by a Highlander #2.5)
Mariah Stone
He’s a Highland assassin. She’s the noblewoman he abandoned nine years ago. Can forgiveness give them a second chance at love this Christmas?
The Scottish Highlands, 1308. Infamous mercenary Hamish Dunn betrayed a powerful clan and is now pursued by killers almost as ruthless as himself. Deep in the snowy wilderness, a Highland faerie convinces Hamish to travel to the Border Lands for one last job.
Deidre Maxwell has a dangerous secret. She’s not the widow she claims but a disowned noblewoman with an illegitimate daughter. After being cast aside by Hamish, the man she loved, she’ll never let herself be hurt again. And she’ll keep her daughter, Maeve, safe from the pain of rejection whatever the cost.
When Hamish visits the warden of the West English March, he finds more than a job. The lass he never stopped loving is now the family’s wet nurse and has a daughter. Hamish wants to protect them both, though he has been hired to murder Deidre's father. Deidre strives to keep him from learning of his child, but she can’t resist the dark Scot’s draw.
Can the magic of Christmas and a child’s love heal the wounds of the past and finally give this improbable pair a happy ending?
Highlander’s Christmas is a historical romance novella set in medieval Scotland and connected to the enthralling Called by a Highlander time travel romance series. If you like reunion romances, secret babies, and dark alpha heroes, then you’ll swoon over Mariah Stone’s tale of forbidden love.
