A Bound Heart
On Scotland's Isle of Kerrera in 1752, beekeeper and herbalist Lark MacDougall has long loved laird Magnus MacLeish, though rank and his unhappy marriage make that devotion impossible. When Magnus's wife dies after taking Lark's remedy, accusations engulf them both despite his conviction that Lark is innocent. Expelled from their island and transported across the Atlantic as indentured servants, they must survive separation and injustice before imagining a future in colonial Virginia. Lush and sweeping, this historical romance suits readers who enjoy post-Culloden Scotland, forced migration, herbal healers, childhood friends, and love stories shaped by exile, faith, and second chances.
