The Reluctant Confessor : A Sweet Highland Historical Romance Book 2 of The First Arrivals
Overview
The Reluctant Confessor
She was sent north to escape a forced engagement. She never expected to find safety - or two very different kinds of love.
S neag MacKinnon arrives at Dunloch with nothing but the clothes on her back and a letter of safe passage. For the first time in her life, she experiences real safety. She also finds an unexpected friendship with Brother Tom s, whose gentle kindness offers her something she has never known. But Tom s is a vowed priest, and the love growing between them can only ever be friendship.
It is Ruairidh MacAlpine - the quiet, patient scholar working on the keep's old manuscripts - who waits without pressure. Only after S neag learns what it truly feels like to be safe in a man's presence can she allow herself to reach for the love that is hers to keep.
