Mornas Legacy 12.5-The Curse of McMillan Castle - A Novella
Bethany Claire [Claire, Bethany]Madeline
knows firsthand that life rarely goes according to plan. If it did, her
husband would still be alive, Scotland wouldn’t be her home, and she
wouldn’t be living in the seventeenth century. Hardened by grief and
broken dreams, Madeline hopes that a new life for her and her daughter
might be enough to pull her from her years’ long rut. Despite her best
efforts in a new century, little changes. As the months pass, her wish
for a happier tomorrow seems unlikely to come true. But when a newcomer
with ties to the castle arrives in the village, Madeline’s interest is
piqued for the first time in years as she discovers maybe there’s more
reason to be hopeful than she originally thought.

painting in exchange for his work would lead to such trouble. But after
nights of no sleep make it clear that his new possession is indeed
haunted, Duncan sets out to return the wretched piece of art back to its
home at McMillan Castle. Determined only to rid himself of the art,
Duncan’s plans are derailed when he meets a lass so bonny he finds
himself eager to accept work that will keep him at McMillan Castle
longer than planned. As time passes and his feelings grow, Duncan
discovers that perhaps his home is no longer the place he left behind.
