Soul Of My Heart

Soul Of The Heart: Scotland, April 1746. In the brutal aftermath of Culloden, the last Jacobite rebellion lies in ruins. Callum MacKenzie, a Highland warrior who has lost everything—his brother, his clan, his cause—falls wounded into the River Nairn, accepting death as his fate.

But Ailsa Fraser, a reclusive village healer haunted by her own losses, finds him barely alive among the reeds. Against all reason and at tremendous risk, she pulls him from the river and hides him in her cottage, nursing him back to health while English soldiers hunt for Jacobite survivors.

As Callum recovers, he finds himself drawn to this fierce, capable woman who saved his life. Ailsa, who swore never to care for anyone again after losing her parents to clan violence, discovers she cannot remain untouched by this broken warrior, learning to be gentle. Despite the constant threat of discovery, despite knowing they can have no future, they fall deeply in love.

Captain James Wolfe, an English officer, suspects Ailsa is hiding something and makes it his mission to uncover the truth. When Jacobite survivors seek Callum out, urging him to rejoin the fight, he must choose between returning to the only life he's known or embracing the peace Ailsa has shown him. Between duty to the dead and hope for the living. Between the warrior he was and the healer he might become.

Their choice puts them in mortal danger. Discovery means death for both of them. But some loves are worth any risk, and some wounds can only be healed by the courage to lay down your sword and reach for something better.

Anam mo Chroí is a sweeping historical romance about transformation and redemption, set against the harsh beauty of the Scottish Highlands in a time when loving the wrong person could cost you everything.
