- Blurb -

An Englishwoman, a Scottish laird . . . a love that will surpass all borders. A sumptuous romance in the spirit of Diana Gabaldon and Darry Fraser. 1402, the Anglo-Scottish border. Lynelle Fenwick is the daughter of an English lord, but was deemed cursed when her mother didn' t survive childbirth and has been an outcast all her life. Raised by the village healer, who has since died, Lynelle truly is alone. When her younger half-brother is captured during a Scottish raid, she sees a last chance to redeem herself to the father who rejected her, and offers to be held captive in his place. Across the turbulent border, Lynelle strikes a bargain with William Kirkpatrick, laird of Closeburn. She will spend two weeks inside the clan' s castle tending William' s younger brother who is in need of a healer' s care. The laird has his own family curse to deal with, along with a deep distrust of healers - and Lynelle has exaggerated her healing skills to obtain her half-brother' s freedom. Despite their differences, William and Lynelle are drawn to each other . . . then an unexpected foe threatens to divide them forever . . . Enemies by birth and circumstance, they can only succeed together. ' So much better [than Outlander] . . . The Healer is my favourite Scottish romance of all time!' Night Owl Romance
