If hearts are meant to be together, nothing will keep them apart... When Gavin Macgregor first laid eyes Kenna Moore at festival in their Highland home, the boy fell in love with her flaming red hair, and her easy smile. Years later, Gavin works up the courage to give Kenna a thistle, and with one innocent gesture, steals her heart. And then, in the blink of an eye, Gavin is gone, swept away with the rest of the Highlanders to fight in Bonnie Prince Charlie’s war, from which he never returns. With Gavin’s thistle around her neck, Kenna finds the strength to journey south to Edinburgh, where she’s promised in marriage to Laird Ramsay Macdonald. Struggling to grow accustomed to her new life, little does Kenna know that the man who stole her heart all those years ago is waiting to do it again.

From the author of the best-selling Scottish historical romance “Thistle and Flame” This light-hearted, sweepingly romantic, full-length novel continues the story of Gavin Macgregor, the brave Highlander who left home to fight in the Bonnie Prince’s final war, and Kenna Moore, the girl he’d loved since he was a boy, who saved Gavin from peril even as he stole her heart. If hearts are meant to be together, nothing will keep them apart... Since they were children, Gavin and Kenna knew they were destined for each other. After almost losing Kenna in an arranged marriage to a crooked Laird, Gavin takes her north from Edinburgh to return to their hometown in the Highlands, in the hope of beginning their new life together. But, when a small town mayor plots to destroy his own village, Kenna is torn between remaining with the man she loves, and helping the people of Mornay’s Cleft – what her heart knows to be right. Can Kenna’s wit, Gavin’s courage, and their love for each other overcome the greed of a crooked mayor? Will Kenna fall back into Gavin’s arms, or will she fall much, much further? With breathtaking romance, a hero and heroine who will do anything for each other, and a colorful cast of supporting characters, “Passion and Plaid” is your chance to fall in love all over again.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Steven Pressfield brings the battle of Thermopylae to brilliant life.”—Pat Conroy At Thermopylae, a rocky mountain pass in northern Greece, the feared and admired Spartan soldiers stood three hundred strong. Theirs was a suicide mission, to hold the pass against the invading millions of the mighty Persian army. Day after bloody day they withstood the terrible onslaught, buying time for the Greeks to rally their forces. Born into a cult of spiritual courage, physical endurance, and unmatched battle skill, the Spartans would be remembered for the greatest military stand in history—one that would not end until the rocks were awash with blood, leaving only one gravely injured Spartan squire to tell the tale. . . .

Book Description
Winner of the American Library Association's Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature For readers of The Librarian Of Auschwitz, This Light Between Us is a powerfully affecting story of World War II about the unlikeliest of pen pals—a Japanese American boy and a French Jewish girl—as they fight to maintain hope in a time of war. “I remember visiting Manzanar and standing in the windswept plains where over ten thousand internees were once imprisoned, their voices cut off. I remember how much I wanted to write a story that did right by them. Hopefully this book delivers.”—Andrew Fukuda In 1935, ten-year-old Alex Maki from Bainbridge Island, Washington is disgusted when he’s forced to become pen pals with Charlie Lévy of Paris, France—a girl. He thought she was a boy. In spite of Alex’s reluctance, their letters continue to fly across the Atlantic—and along with them, the shared hopes and dreams of friendship. Until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the growing Nazi persecution of Jews force them to confront the darkest aspects of human nature. From the desolation of an internment camp on the plains of Manzanar to the horrors of Auschwitz and the devastation of European battlefields, the only thing they can hold onto are the memories of their letters. But nothing can dispel the light between them. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
