31/50 Gavin by Hazel Hunter
Though Gavin McShane is happy for his sister and her new life, his own has foundered. As he tries to recover from his lover’s betrayal, he finds solace in the work of being a fisherman in the Orkneys. On his tiny island he finds relief in seclusion—until he meets the ghostly Blue Lady of Marr.
Young druidess Catriona Haral is no phantom. But her hidden existence has made her seem so, even to herself. When Gavin wanders into her secret glen, she wonders if she’s found a reason to want to live again.
But Catriona wasn’t hiding on a whim. When her reasons are revealed, the might of the McDonnel clan and the judgement of the druids land at her doorstep.
32/50 Tormod by Hazel Hunter
When a modern day archaeologist lands in medieval Scotland, she leaves behind the one thing that might truly help—her memory.
But Jema McShane doesn’t make the trip alone. Her twin brother Gavin falls through time with her. Separated immediately, Gavin must fend for himself. But Jema lands in the powerful arms of the only Viking member of the McDonnel clan, Tormod.
The giant Norseman can scarcely believe how the fates have favored him. His only desire is to protect the strange and beautiful woman, even if it means keeping her existence a secret.
But for Gavin, the fates have a different path in store. His world becomes one of darkness, the likes of which he has never known.
33/50 Dougal: A Highlander Romance by L.L. Muir
Hannah is a socially introverted painter with a problem. At the Mendon Mountain Music Festival, she must sell some of her artwork to pay her taxes or she’ll lose her precious home. But if she sells her paintings to the wrong people, she’s afraid she’ll lose her soul.
Dougal, a Highlander ghost on leave from the battlefield, is anxious to help the lass, so he can collect a hero’s reward. But the independent miss has little need of him, and if he fails to solve her pressing problems, he’ll be sent on to the next world with no satisfaction at all!
34/50 Adam by L.L. Muir
My name is Adam Patrick Gordon, and I am a ghost of Culloden’s battlefield. Restless I am, for much unfinished business pulls at my soul—and my heart. I left my sweet wife, Mairi, behind, heavy with our first child, to face the Government Army on behalf of Prince Charles. I was one of the unlucky few from the Glenbucket Brigade who fell at Culloden that day in April, 1746.
What would I trade my ghostly existence for? Would a few minutes alone with our bonny prince give my soul the rest it deserves? I must convince Soni that all my heart desires is one more day with Mairi.
35/50 Macbeth by L.L. Muir
Along with the rest of Culloden’s 79, Macbeth is being forced to move on to the next life. But with a small, angry army waiting for him inside the gates of the hereafter, he’s got more reason than most to stay a ghost. Sadly, that's not an option. And if he can't resist the distraction of a tempestuous American lass, he’ll miss his final chance to redeem his name before the inevitable fight.
As if Catherine didn’t have enough to worry about, she’s attracted the attention of a hot-but-crazy guy who thinks he’s "The Highlander." Luckily for her, she is allergic to all things Scottish, so her heart is in no danger. Unfortunately, he thinks the best thing to do with his weekend is to barge into her life and endanger her grandpa’s delicate state of mind.
I may need to up my totals again at this rate.
