Set in the Scottish Highlands of 1694, Morgan's latest historical (following Embrace the Dawn) revolves around Maggie Robertson, whose desire to become a nun is motivated as much by her need to free herself from her father as it is by her desire to serve God. She escapes to the Convent of Our Lady of Comfort in England. Six months later her father, Walter, becomes deathly ill and decides to hold Lachlan Campbell hostage until his cousin, Adam, travels to the convent and brings his daughter back home. Maggie desperately wants to remain with the sisters, but after hearing Adam's news, she has little choice but to return to Scotland. Maggie and Adam forge a friendship on their journey home, but Adam has a secret that may destroy it. Morgan's fans will be delighted with this adventurous romance, which may also interest readers of Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series or the works of many other Scottish romance writers, such as Karen Marie Moning and Karen Ranney.
