Maude goes to Keir when she learns he is hurt. Her late husband, the laird, had banished Keir after an altercation between them. Maude has always had feelings for Keir. He also has loved her for years. While there, a fire occurs, and they and Keir's niece escape through a tunnel he built in his cottage. When they get out, they find a chain locked on the door as well as threats. Callum, Maude's son and the current laird, lets the clan know Keir's banishment is lifted and that the fire at Keir's place was deliberate, designed to kill. Who is responsible for the fire? Will Callum allow his mother to be part of Keir's life?

I enjoyed this book. There was a lot happening. I liked that Maude and Keir were older. I enjoyed the laird telling his mother what he expected from her regarding Keir. I liked Keir's niece, Sorcha. She is an orphan, looking for the love she lost when her parents died. Keir is bewildered by her but tries to do his best. You can feel the unsp0ken love between them. When Sorcha gets hooked up with Isla, Maude's daughter-in-law, you know eventually Sorcha will be as much a handful at Isla.

I was glad that they found out who was responsible for the raid that killed Sorcha's parents as well as the fire that almost killed Maude, Keir, and Sorcha. I'm sorry to be leaving Glennoe. It is an enchanting place full of love. ( )
