The Highlander's French Bride
Page 26
Soni jerked my hands, cutting off my words. “Ye are not to blame. Ye must believe me.”
I could only nod for her benefit, not mine. I’d watched the bairns with their families at the Visitor’s Centre since it opened in 2007. Jolly bairns, cranky ones late for their naps, whining ones tired or hungry. Wee lads and lasses on chubby legs, older ones galloping about the place with the energy of a cavalry advance. The pull of these youngsters was strong. Yet I had no descendants, no great-great-great-grandchildren to visit me here. And despite Soni’s well-meaning words, it was entirely my fault.
“Adam, if ye could have one wish, any wish at all, what would it be?” Her voice was soft, beguiling.
That wasnae a difficult question. I had my answer ready. I’d thought of little else these many years. “To go back for one more day with Mairi and fix that damn hole.”

I hope you enjoyed a look at Adam’s story. Please read The Gathering by LL Muir first, to avoid confusion. The subsequent books in the series may be read in any order. The Reckoning will be the final book.
