Heather Abbott’s social whirl in London becomes boring, and she yearns for its end to return to the rolling hills of Ansleigh, her childhood home. Numerous would-be suitors have yet to come close to her idea of a perfect match. That is until Stirling Lindsay appears and sweeps her off her feet with his sensuous eyes and Scottish burr. She discovers her mother’s intuitive gift has been passed to her as visions of swirling mists and mournful skirls of distant bagpipes invade her mind with whispers that this is the one meant for her. Thus, her journey begins to follow her heart and the mystical emotions pushing her forward, not realizing how unkind life can be before reaching the forever after ending.
The Scotsman’s immediate attraction to the raven-haired, violet-eye beauty is a rare occurrence. Stirling Lindsay is visiting the city for business purposes, not pleasure. His thoughts are also occupied with personal issues being thrust on him by his father, laird of the clan, who is ill and insists his son leave the business world and take his rightful place as the next chieftain. However, once he is introduced to the lovely socialite, all thoughts of his other life are pushed aside to perceive if there is a possibility of eternal happiness and contentment in his presently miserable existence.
From the affluent circles of London to the mysterious moors and snow-peaked mountains of Scotland, passion ignites, but quirks of fate threaten to distinguish its flames.
Pipes in the Mist, (England/Scotland 1819) can be considered a companion novel to Shadows o’er Killarney (Ireland 1798) [Mar 2011], although there is sufficient background to catch one up with the prior story. It continues the chronicle of the Irish lass Jennifer O’Rourke and English baron Jonathan Abbott. After their marriage in Ireland, they return to Jonathan’s English estate. Their first gift is a beautiful daughter who brings joy and teaches them the meaning of patience.
