The Remains of Love

Mrs. Christiana Newton—Chrissi to her closest friends—has two simple goals in life. One, earn a living through her archaeological expertise.

And two, forget that Alistair Maclagan, her traitorous former betrothed, still walks the same planet as herself.

Alistair Maclagan, Lord Farnell, has resolved to move on from his broken engagement to Chrissi nine years ago, to forgive himself for shattering the trust between them.

But when Fate drops Chrissi, quite literally, into a muddy bog on Alistair’s Highland estate, the two are forced to confront their romantic past.

Despite heartbreak, betrayal, and the passage of years, can Chrissi and Alistair forge love anew?
