About this listen
When spirited and self-reliant Tess Lindsay rescues a shipwrecked Highlander, she has no idea her world is about to change. Raised in isolation on a remote Scottish isle, Tess has never known her true origins—until Colin Macpherson washes ashore, igniting not only her curiosity but a passion unlike any she’s known.
Colin’s charm has led him from one adventure to the next, but nothing prepares him for the fierce, breathtaking woman who pulls him from the storm. As Tess begins to trust the handsome stranger, Colin uncovers a hidden past that could change everything—and take her away from him forever.
Sweeping, romantic, and brimming with emotional depth, TESS AND THE HIGHLANDER is a tale of love tested by fate and the power of finding where you truly belong.
RWA RITA Award Finalist – Best Historical Romance
Four finely crafted places and lifestyles with and a tender, slowly developing romance between Tess and Colin make this story a delight. The believable supporting characters, the Isle of May and Tess' life on it, her interactions with Colin, are so crisp and clear that I felt I was there with them. ★★★★★
Long considered lost at sea, Tess is suddenly a cause celebrate when she rescues the son of a powerful clan leader. This is an enjoyable look at the sometimes tension between clans in long ago Scotland, with an exciting finish to seal the deal. ★★★★★
I really enjoyed reading Tess and the Highlander, they made me laugh and cry and all the while rooting for Tess. This story was refreshing and one that I recommend for anyone that needs a standalone love story that leaves you dreaming of islands and highlanders on their very own. ★★★★★

Story
Cainnech (Cain) MacPherson's hatred for the English was born when he was a lad of seven, the day they raided his village and killed his family. They took everything from him without mercy and tossed him onto the battlefield, where the memory of love faded to dust and left nothing in its wake but violence. Now, as Robert the Bruce's most formidable, most lethal warrior, he wreaks havoc on his enemy, taking land by force, without mercy. But when he raids a small castle in Northumberland, he faces his greatest opponent yet - a bold, beautiful Norman lass who will see him dead at any cost.
