Highland Sunset

Highland Sunset

Vanessa MacIan, daughter of a great clan chieftain, leaves the shelter of her Highland home to visit her mother’s family in England. There she meets Edward Romney, Earl of Linton, and falls desperately in love with a man who is an enemy to the Stuart Cause her father supports. He asks her to marry him and she accepts. Then Bonnie Prince Charlie lands in Scotland, and everything changes. Van’s loyalty forces her to return to the Highlands to be with her father, her family and her clan.<br />The rebellion is crushed at the Battle of Culloden and England determines to take revenge on the Highland rebels. Edward resigns his position in the English government and travels to Scotland to protect Van against the vengeance of the English army. They marry, but Van’s loyalties are again torn, this time between allegiance to her brother Niall, who is travelling with the prince, and the man she loves.<br />Highland Sunset is about the love story of Van and Edward. It’s also about the love story between Van’s parents, Frances and Alastair. Finally, it’s the story of the rebellion that destroyed the highland clan system and, with it, an entire way of life. <br /><br /><br />“Joan Wolf has written a beautiful story that explores the power of love to surmount every difficulty.” Romantic Times<br /><br />“Joan Wolf sweeps readers into a tale of love and loyalty set during the tempestuous Scottish rebellion of 1745 and Bonnie Prince Charlie’s daring return.”<br />
