Back Cover description: Nothing rattles confident Scotsman Dillon Cameron--except learning he's fathered a child by his best friend's beautiful widow! Saddened at the secret of his daughter's birth, haunted by a deathbed promise, Dillon storms Thea Kearney's highlands cottage, intent on claiming 'his lasses'. In wrenching grief Thea had once sought comfort in Dillon's sheltering arms, but she and her baby scarcely need him now! Yet Dillon's salty brogue and sea-swept sorcery shatter her resistance and win her heart...until she discovers the man-to-man pledge that even the roguish Dillon apparently feels compelled to honor...The plot description makes it appear that these characters are forceful and take charge types. That is misleading. I very rarely cry when reading romance stories, sometimes I get a little teary, but not cry. Well, this book will get you to turn on the tears, but in a good way, the way you cry when something is touching and to the heart. All the characters are likable, from the dead husband, Dillon, Thea and the islanders. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the scene near the end where she finds out what the promise is and takes exception to it, instead of seeing it as a last gift from her husband. Try it, good story.
