   Summary

   Claire who hates her depressing office job and has a troubling relationship goes to a re-enactment festival in Scotland where she meets arrogant cheeky playboy Jamie, but is all as it seems? Can Highlands ease their tortured souls?

   This is a story of finding redemption and love but also rediscovering faith - believing in yourself and seeing your worth, breaking free from things that hold you back. It is a tale of survival, finding your home and meaning in being. It is an account of bravery, of courage to take steps into the unknown to find the lifegiving light in the dark - the eyes and soul of familiar warmth. Most of all restoring hope for greater things and for hearts that can indeed beat as one while healing from past misdeeds.
