A Journey Back to the Highlands by Ava McArthur

True love helps you become who you really are.

Ruairi Calbraith has been living in shame and guilt. Years ago, his twin sister married a man from an enemy clan to end a feud that Ruairi had accidentally started. Instead of protecting his people, Ruairi put them in danger and now he feels unworthy of becoming a Laird. No longer able to look them in the eyes, he leaves the Highlands to become a captain and spent his days in the sea.

A decade after, when Ruairi’s father is about to die, he requests his son’s return, and his message will happen to travel through the lips of Kenna Baird. The young lass is traveling to Spain to meet her new husband, and she is tasked to find Ruari there. However, when Kenna meets her old and sick betrothed, the marriage is canceled, and her only choice to travel back to the Highlands now is to board Ruairi’s ship.

After so many years, the long-gone son has decided to return, but fate works in mysterious ways, and Ruairi’s ship is hit by a terrible storm, and the captain finds himself on the coast of France with Kenna on his side! Now the two must work together to survive and somehow find their way back to the Highlands.

Through more hardships than anyone can imagine, Ruairi and Kenna will develop a unique connection, and the hardened Highlander has to admit that without the brilliant help from Kenna, he would not have survived. However, the most significant challenge yet awaits them at their homeland. Ruairi is undoubtedly a changed man after ten years away from home, but his time with Kenna has given him something he has been missing; a reason to look forward to everyday.

Kenna’s only concern is that now it might be too late as his enemies are closing in, trying to make sure that the Calbraith name will die with Ruairi.
