Andrew, the illegitimate son of the Duke of Argyle, head of clan Campbell. Two clans that have been feuding each other for centuries. The brutal crushing of the second Jacobite uprising in 1746 by the British throws the two together and their innocent love blossoms on the shores of a Highland lochan, only to be shattered by the revelation of secrets hidden away twenty years earlier. Andrew flees Scotland, trying to forget Helen. After four years of restless wandering, rich and wiser, he returns to farewell the Highlands before emigrating to America. Memories of that summer of love drive him back to the lochan, where he meets Helen, engaged to be married to a MacGregor cousin. The love both thought to have securely locked away flares up stronger than before and drives them into a reckless adventure, flouting conventions and defying family, clan, and authority.About the AuthorGian Bordin grew up in a small town in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
