Summary
In Scotland in the late sixteenth century, a young Lord Marcus Kane and Lady Abigail Griffin meet and fall desperately in love. The only problem is their families hate each other and have for centuries. A relationship between the two bitter enemies is impossible but Marcus and Abby cannot help themselves. They meet in their secret dell, growing ever closer, exploring their love and their bodies, risking everything for these moments together. Their oblivious parents have other ideas for them, possible suitors, arranged marriages. Abby's father would kill Marcus if he found out, and Marcus's father would destroy the Griffins.
A future together seems impossible, a life apart unthinkable. While they continue to fall in love, shutting their eyes and ears to the trouble they're making, circumstances outside their control may ultimately decide their fate.

Summary
It's 1902 and a youthful Abby Griffin takes up a post in a remote part of Scotland where she is to nurse a wounded man back to health. Her young charge, Lord Marcus Kane, was injured in war, but won't talk about what happened to him. In fact, he barely talks at all except to be rude and dismissive to his carer. Abby soon realises his wounds are mental as well as physical and sets about trying to heal his mind and body. Lord Kane finds her exasperating, but Abby is relentless and believes she can wear him down. She has reasons of her own for wanting to stay as long as possible in this hidden part of the country, far away from the life and troubles she has left behind. Will she succeed in bringing life back to Arkaig Hall and its residents, and can she hide from her past forever?

Summary
Abby Griffin arrives in the small New Hampshire town of Eden hoping to make a fresh start after the death of her husband. With fifteen-year-old daughter, Clarke, in tow, she tries to make a life for them in the town, and must learn to cope with Clarke's independence and her own loneliness.
Marcus Kane is President of the Academy and Professor of History. He's a man who keeps himself to himself, has no interest in letting other people into his life. His staff think he's grumpy, his private life a mystery, but beneath the stiff exterior is a complex man in deep pain.
Marcus finds Abby rude and overbearing; she thinks he's cold and stand-offish and delights in teasing him. The resulting battle of wits leads them to a tentative friendship, and a mutual attraction which they deny to themselves and each other. Can they overcome the walls they've built around their hearts and find love?- Language:
