Summary
Part 1 of The McClary Chronicles
Stuck in Scotland doing soil-testing research, Molly finds herself completely out of her element and in the crosshairs of a rough local who doesn't turn a welcoming eye to strangers. Caught in a dangerous storm in an unfamiliar place, her only option beside freezing to death or getting lost on the mountain is to follow him home...
King McClary is a difficult sort of man - quiet, withdrawn, sullen and surly, living wild and appreciating the company of no one but the sheep he herds across the rough Highland hills. When the noisy woman from somewhere else shows up on his land, all he wants is to get her gone. Until a blizzard strands them together in his tiny cabin and nature starts to do its unwelcome thing.
Sgàile Leannan translates roughly to "Demon Lover", "Ghost Lover", or any variation thereof...I'm not being terribly nitpicky about absolute translations because Scottish Gaelic to English isn't an exact science. Just enjoy and have fun ;)

Summary
The sequel to Sgaile Leannan - Molly has returned home from Scotland, leaving King McClary behind in his own life while moving on with hers. But separating herself permanently from the surly Scotsman is proving more difficult than she expected when he suddenly shows up in Philadelphia. Are their stars really too crossed to ever hope they could be together?
This story picks up immediately where Sgaile Leannan left off, with Molly and King reunited in the city.
*Sàmhach Mhiannan translates as "Quiet Wishes" from Scottish Gaelic to English.

Summary
Part 3 of The McClary Chronicles - picks up three months after the end of Samhach Mhiannan, with Molly making a life changing decision for herself and newborn Pod...and by extension, King McClary, the cranky Scotsman who has returned to his home in the Highlands without her. Nobody ever said true love was an easy path to walk, but Molly's got a good sturdy pair of hiking boots this time around. Which one will beg for mercy first: the determined mother of the next King of Claighe, or the current king himself?
The title, Na Binne an Leann, means "The Sweeter the Ale" - which is the second part of an old Scottish saying that I just totally made up for this story. The whole quote goes "An teotha na grùdaireachd na binne an leann", which translates to "The hotter the brewing, the sweeter the ale"....meaning basically "the more you go through to be together, the stronger your love will be."
