Childhood sweethearts torn apart by ambition, risk everything for forbidden love at court.
At sixteen, Magnus Sinclair never imagined that stumbling upon thirteen-year-old Deirdre Fraser in the Highland hills meant finding his soulmate. Three years of stolen meetings at Highland Gatherings and royal hunts, and countless secret letters, bind them together until they pledge themselves in a forbidden handfast. When Deirdre’s ambitious parents discover their secret, she is torn from Magnus’s arms and whisked to court as a lady-in-waiting to the queen, leaving Magnus with nothing but silence and the bitter taste of what he believes is rejection.
Seven years later, Magnus arrives at court as Clan Sinclair’s representative and is stunned to find Deirdre still at the queen’s side and about to be betrothed to another man. Deirdre has been the perfect dutiful daughter and loyal companion, but one look at Magnus reignites the love she never surrendered. Caught between her parents’ political schemes and the promises she once made in the dark, Deirdre must decide whether to sacrifice her heart or defy expectations. Together, she and Magnus must brave courtly intrigue, family wrath, and impossible choices if they are to reclaim the life they were always meant to share.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “So good! Celeste weaves a story like no other. Kept me breathless for what was next throughout most of the book!” ~ Reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I typically do not like flashbacks in a story. However, in this book they are handled very well and effectively. Although going in I knew it was a romance, so there was going to be an HEA, it is a testament to the writer’s skill that at point I doubted it would happen. It was suspenseful and interesting. Lots of surprises and a good amount of heat. I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series!” ~ Reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “These stories just keep getting better and better. Each book makes me feel closer to the characters. Celeste's writing brings them alive to the extent I feel I know the whole family. This is a series worth reading.” ~ Reviewer
