โฆ Synopsis
New from bestselling historical romance author and Whitney Award Winner, Michele Paige Holmes, comes the newest Hearthfire Romance, YESTERDAY'S PROMISE. In the Scottish Highlands, 1761: Nineteen-year-old artist Katherine Mercer dreams of selling her paintings to help support her struggling family. Before she has the opportunity, Katherine learns she is to be sold--or practically so--given in marriage to a lord she has never met or even heard of. In return, a much-needed settlement will be made upon her mother. Katherine's situation goes from frightening to surreal when her husband-to-be Laird Collin MacDonald arrives with an entourage of men, each heavily armed and speaking with a thick brogue. As if leaving all she knows behind and traveling to another country with strangers isn't bad enough, Katherine soon discovers a Scottish heritage she knew nothing of, a brother-in-law who wants her dead, and far more at stake with her paintings than she had ever imagined. Forced to turn to her reclusive husband for answers, comfort, and even her very survival, Katherine begins to unravel the mysteries of her past and what it is to love and be loved. Other Hearthfire Romances: SAVING GRACE; LOVING HELEN; MARRYING CHRISTOPHER; TWELVE DAYS IN DECEMBER; YESTERDAY'S PROMISE (Scottish Historical); HEARTHFIRE ROMANCE COLLECTION, VOLUME 1 (box set)
