Two misfits. One great love. Bethia may be the former Ramsay laird’s daughter, but she fears she’ll never marry. She loves her cousins, but their beauty makes her feel plump and plain in comparison. The lads never notice her like they do the others. She’s most confident when she’s nursing the clan’s animals back to health, yet her heart desires a family of her own. Then a man rushes to the castle … the castle gates, desperate for someone to save his dog, and Bethia’s simple life changes forever.
The tragedy in Donnan’s past ruined him. For the past two years, he has shunned his adopted clan. He now lives alone, beyond the castle gates, and associates only with his beloved dogs. But when one of the dogs is injured, and beautiful Bethia is the one who treats her, he realizes there may be room in his heart to love again. Her kindness is just the salve he needs to recover from the past—if he can bring himself to share his secrets with her.
The Ramsays’ enemy, Bearchun, watches them, eager to ruin the clan once and for all. He’s certain that Bethia and Donnan might be the key to destroying them. But has he underestimated the two misfits?

Another wonderful story from Keira. Bethia always thought herself plain and heavy, but someone thought her beautiful the way she is. There were a lot of cruel remarks to her, but she had the love and devotion of her family. Donnan had his own cross to bear and a crazy wife to deal with. Of course there was Berchum as well. Love is the best healing there is.
I really enjoyed Keira Montclair’s latest installment of the Highland Clan series.
Bethia is truly a gentle soul who is oftentimes more comfortable around animals than people. She has learned the art of healing from her mother and aunts and is ready to start a family of her own. However, she feels unworthy and sees herself as unattractive and plain as compared to her sisters and cousins.
Donnan is a quiet man. While he had once been a warrior, he is now a thinker and an inventor. His past experiences with women and people in general have led him to live a life of solitude. When one of his beloved dogs is attacked, however, he seeks out the help of the Ramsey healers and begins having feelings he has not had for many years . . . possibly ever. When he finds out that Bethia Ramsey, the one who has stirred his long forgotten heart may be at risk, he decides he will do everything in his power to keep her safe.
Will both Bethia and Donnan be able to come their own insecurities to give a relationship between the two of them a chance? And, will they be able to outwit the enemy looking to take down the Ramsey clan and anyone who stands in their way before it is too late?
Keira Montclair has done it again. Each tale is unique and this is no exception. I loved both Bethia and Donnan’s characters as well as their interactions with the rest of the clan . . . especially Uncle Logan who is having a very hard time watching all of his lassies grow up. It’s a fantastic tale of highland love and adventure and one fans of the series will truly enjoy! 5 stars.
Love it!! THE HIGHLAND CLAN series is exciting and exhilarating. While book 10, it can it read as and a stand alone.
Well written, fast paced, page turner that will keep you glued to the pages. The plot is very intriguing, adventurous and of course, romantic. It has twists and turns and a few surprises along the way. Fantastic and mesmizing!
Bethia and Donnan’s story is one of past tragedy and sorrows, that brings them closer together. They understand each other. Bearchun, the Ramsay’s clan swore enemy, plans to watch and wait, before he destroys the Ramsay clan forever, or so he thinks.
BETHIA is a powerful and compelling story of opposite attraction to each other, and the irony of a hermit and a misfit finding love and a HEA.
Ms. Montclair manages to pull readers into her stories with her descriptions, her characterizes, her seamlessly and effortlessly writing style and her exotic Scotland. Magnificent!!! A must read and a definite keeper. A true treasure!
