To Dance in the Glen by Michelle Deerwester-Dalrymple
2019 Top Ten Author Academy Award!
Unexpected love and heartbreaking betrayal follow Meg at every turn . . .
Meg, a poor crofter’s daughter, finds her life taking a tumultuous turn when she is sent to the Laird’s castle for her own safety. English marauders, accusations of witchcraft, and treason are just the beginning for her.
Meg Lachlan is certain of her place in her clan. When English mercenaries plaguing the Scottish Highlands aim their attacks on Clan MacLeod and Meg herself, the Laird’s son takes up the mantle to protect the young woman.
Ewan MacLeod believes that bringing Meg to the castle will guard her against the English attacks, but when he finds his passions for the young lass growing, they begin a love affair that many call into question — most notably the daughter of a nearby laird who has her sights set on Ewan for herself.
As Meg and Ewan struggle against accusations of witchcraft, the English step up their onslaught, and it seems the clan is beset on all sides, until the discovery of a traitor in their midst threatens to tear down all that Meg and Ewan have worked so hard to build.
With the security of their clan, their families, even themselves at risk, can they rise above all the challenges that stand in the way of their love? A tantalizing Scottish Romance!

What inspired you to write your book?
I have always had a passion for highlanders, Scottish history, and medieval romance!
Here is a short sample from the book:
Meg began to wiggle in an attempt to slide off the animal, but the Laird’s son grasped her more tightly around the waist and held her on the horse. He moved his arm up and grasped her breast as he forced a rough kiss on her unyielding lips. She strained against him, pushing against his chest until he pulled away. He grinned at her with a boyish look on his face, as though he had done nothing wrong. Meg straightened her clothes, then turned more fully in the saddle and slapped Ewan as hard as she could. She finished her slide off the horse, angry as a bee. She glared up at his feigned surprise and whacked him on the leg for added good measure.
“What?” he asked innocently.
“What do ye think ye were doing?”
His grin widened. “I’m the Laird’s son, soon to be the Laird. Most lassies would be honored to be in your position.” He was almost leering at her. She was appalled.
“An honor, ye say? In the eyes of the Lord God, ‘tis a sin! My mother says that a woman’s body is a privilege, and that privilege is for her husband only! Ye would no’ put your hands on an honorable woman that way!”
“The position ye were in with the English might indicate ye are something other than honorable,” he insinuated.
Her eyebrows rose nearly off her face at his statement. “How dare ye? Ye think yourself so great that women should lose their honor ‘acause ye are the Laird’s son? Ye leave your less than honorable hands to yourself.”

Family Of Strangers by Barbara Willis
What would you do if someone you loved disappeared? What would you do if you were told they’d never existed? This most awful of nightmares comes true for Eva when her closest friend, Annie, vanishes. Even Annie’s parents deny her existence.
The uncertainty of the early months of 1939 has been eclipsed. Eva’s comfortable, normal small town life becomes despairing and desperate, until a friendly hand reaches out to her. The elderly and eccentric Lola shows no surprise at Eva’s tale. Neither does Gabe; young, handsome and distant. They have answers that lead to more questions, and information that leads to confusion. The pair guide Eva through a new and frightening world towards her beloved Annie. Eva is sure that her search has absorbed every part of her, until she realises how close she’s becoming to the mysterious but tender Gabe.
As Eva learns more about the hidden world now exposed to her, the depth of which seems infinite, she finds that people can be lost and all memory of them forsaken. Gabe and Lola are lost, just like Annie; but unlike Annie, no-one is looking for them to guide them home. Eva, now attached to Lola and deeply tied to Gabe, struggles to believe that nothing can be done to help them.
Eva’s search is littered with many things – doubt, discovery, love, belonging and a myriad of scary jigsaw pieces; lost friends, the giving of gifts, a library of books, a troubled conscience and a brilliant pianist. Can Eva piece it all together to see the picture or has she missed something? Does Eva find Annie? Will Gabe reveal his story and are his and Lola’s other lost friends a help or a hindrance?
And is there something crucially important that not one of them is telling Eva?
