2015 National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award, Best Novella
Lily's well-honed sense for trouble tells her no healer is safe in London while gangs roam the city looking for witches to burn. In the dead of night, she escapes on a northbound ship, intending to return after Christmas celebrations calm the city's witch fever. But when Lily lands in the wilds of Scotland, her skills for surviving in the city can't save her.
Roderick MacDonald is on a secret mission for his chieftain when he finds a lass near death on a barren hillside and is forced to take her with him. Though this mysterious Sassenach may have the gift his clan needs - and he burns with passion for her - he's determined to resist the enchantment she weaves on his scarred heart. When love blooms amidst the harsh winter beauty of the Highlands, will these two obstinate souls from different worlds accept the Yuletide gift?

Sweet Magical Story about the "sight "
This is another author that is new to me and I find novellas are a good way to find out if you like the style of writing of an author. I liked this story and will definitely read more!
Lily has a shop in London where she works as a healer. When she feels it is no longer safe to trade with gangs roaming the city looking for witches to burn, she escapes to Scotland dressed as a boy with the intention of joining up with a friend.
She fails to realise how large Scotland is and is on the point of dying when Roderick MacDonald comes across her.
Roderick' grandmother is the healer for the clan and foresees that he will meet the person with the "sight" who will be able to take over the position from her.
This is the story of whether Lily is the person foretold and if Roderick can persuade her to visit his clan for confirmation.
I wanted to smack Lily a couple of times for being so obstinate but I loved Roderick and the grandmother. This was enjoyable and the ending a complete surprise.
I look forward to reading her "Return of the Highlander" series.
