Of Lands High and Low

Summary

Isla Findlay belongs nowhere. The daughter of a disgraced woman and the Highlander who abandoned them both, she tries to be a dutiful niece to the uncle who has taken her in, blending into the Lowland village of Craigmuir as best she can. But when a young Highlander's arrival in the area coincides with an outbreak of dreaded smallpox, it stirs up questions about Isla's past and forces her to confront her feelings that run counter to those accepted in her community.  Doctor Graeme MacNeill killed the only patient he ever had: his own father. The only way he can think to atone is to cut all ties from the Lowland world his father hated - including his education as a physician - and embrace the Highland heritage he used to deplore. He travels to Craigmuir to sell the unwanted estate he has inherited from an uncle and return home, but fate - and the redheaded young woman he encounters in the village - have no intention of letting him leave things so easily behind.
