About this listen
In the untamed landscape of Scotland, two souls, each bearing the weight of their own scars, find an unexpected connection.
Lieutenant John Holdsworth, a valiant veteran of the Battle of Waterloo, carries not only the physical wounds of war but the haunting memories that threaten to shackle his heart forever. Now, as the steward of a sprawling Scottish estate, he finds solace in his work in the solitude of the Highlands.
Catriona Craig is the enchanting adopted daughter of Lord Craig. Her world revolves around the compassionate act of healing. Amidst the winds and fragrant meadows of the estate, she discovers her purpose, nursing not only the ailments of the body but also the wounded spirits that cross her path.
As John and Catriona's lives intertwine, an unlikely friendship blossoms. He, a man of war, and she, a guardian of life, find solace and understanding in one another's presence. But beneath the tranquil surface of their companionship simmers a deeper, unspoken longing—a desire for healing that goes beyond herbs.
John must confront the shadows of his past, a journey fraught with pain. Can he open his heart to the possibility of love and acceptance, allowing Catriona's warmth to melt the icy barriers he's built around himself? And will Catriona's nurturing spirit be enough to mend a heart that's been battered by war?

Convincing her parents to let her retreat to their Scottish estate, a home for abandoned young women, Margaux feels she can do something meaningful with her life. At their wits' end, her parents believe a few months in seclusion will teach her to appreciate her privileged existence, and accept the next gentleman of worth who offers for her. Margaux has no plans to yield. But neither she nor her parents bargain for the proximity of the gorgeous, blue-eyed Scotsman on the neighboring estate.

Story
Nowadays the Marquess of Hastings would probably be described as having Asperger's. He's good-looking and rich, but his lack of social skills make it hard for him to find a much-needed wife. He scandalizes the ton by putting an advertisement in the newspaper describing the type of spouse he requires and the marriage of convenience he envisages. Amazingly, he finds a suitable candidate. Elisabeth is an impoverished gentlewoman with literary aspirations. But can this oddly-assorted pair possibly coexist, let alone find happiness?

Twenty years later, Fox appears on Leah's doorstep—older, scarred, and world-weary—proposing a marriage of convenience between them.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.
