Synopsis

From USA Today Bestselling Author May McGoldrick...

A Macpherson Family Novel

Tess Lindsay has spent most of her life on the remote Isle of May, uncertain of her identity. Raised by the two sole inhabitants of the island, she is left to fend for herself after their deaths, until a stranger washes ashore in a storm. Tess pulls him from the surf, not knowing that in saving the Highlander she is saving herself.

If good looks and a taste for adventure are a curse, Colin Macpherson is destined for ruin. Until he ends up a castaway on Tess's windswept island, he's been roaming the seas, seeking fame, fortune...and a different girl in every port. But his fascination for this strong-willed lass goes beyond her wild beauty, intriguing him as no girl ever has.

As Colin gains her trust, Tess reveals what little she knows about herself and her past. From her scant clues, though, Colin comes to one conclusion: he must return Tess to the mainland to reclaim her birthright, even if it means losing her to a destiny that does not include him.

Four finely crafted places and lifestyles with and a tender, slowly developing romance between Tess and Colin make this story a delight. The believable supporting characters, the Isle of May and Tess' life on it, her interactions with Colin, are so crisp and clear that I felt I was there with them. ★★★★★

Long considered lost at sea, Tess is suddenly a cause celebrate when she rescues the son of a powerful clan leader. This is an enjoyable look at the sometimes tension between clans in long ago Scotland, with an exciting finish to seal the deal. ★★★★★

I really enjoyed reading Tess and the Highlander, they made me laugh and cry and all the while rooting for Tess. This story was refreshing and one that I recommend for anyone that needs a standalone love story that leaves you dreaming of islands and highlanders on their very own. ★★★★★
