“A book that has everything – romance, intrigue, mystery, danger, unexpected plot twists – suffused with a deep love of the islands of Scotland.”

Bronze Medal winner, ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year awards.

Jean Abbott, happily married for twenty years, suddenly discovers her husband has been cheating on her. Seeking time and space to rebuild her life, she runs away from her comfortable Milwaukee home to tiny Scottish island Eilean Dubh. There she meets Darroch Mac an Rìgh, television actor and the Island’s reluctant Laird, and finds music and friendship.

Jean falls in love with the beautiful Dark Island. But it’s not till Darroch is caught in a blizzard and ends up half frozen at her cottage door that she realizes she’s also fallen in love with the Island’s laird. Now she has a real problem; she’s married to a man who won’t let her go, and she wants another man . . . and his Island.

. . . the writing is sharp and punchy, the characters are well drawn, the story is interesting and engaging, and the author has done a marvelous job of adding a special insight and depth, mixing in Scottish history and culture . . . high praise, two thumbs up, grade A, first rate. – Midwest Book Review.

An entertaining read – and irresistibly Scottish.

The Author: Eilean Dubh, the Dark Island, is a place of my devising, and I made it as authentic and real as I could without resorting to the heather/ thistle/ bagpipes stereotype. I think of my books as love stories with a sea view.
