The Beauty of the Mist
A Macpherson Clan Novel
A Highland warrior on a royal mission. A mysterious woman fleeing a life not of her choosing. One fateful encounter that will change their destinies forever.
Maria has known little of freedom—and nothing of love. Married off at seventeen and widowed soon after, she now faces another arranged marriage, this time to the boy king of Scotland. Desperate to reclaim her life, Maria escapes aboard a ship bound for nowhere... only to be caught in a storm that wrecks her plans and her vessel.
Adrift and alone, she is rescued by rugged Highland chief John Macpherson, a man sworn to duty and honor. He is on a journey to retrieve his sovereign’s bride—unaware that the captivating woman he’s pulled from the sea is the very woman he’s been sent to escort.
As they travel through mist-laced glens and rugged mountains, a powerful bond forms between them—dangerous, undeniable, and forbidden. But secrets cannot stay hidden forever. When the truth comes to light, Maria must make a choice: follow her heart and risk John’s life… or sacrifice love for the sake of the crown.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the sea and medieval Scotland, this sweeping tale of love, identity, and honor will captivate fans of richly layered historical romance.
