To keep a selkie...
...you've got to hide its sealskin. So what about beautiful lasses that get washed up on the beach? Can you keep them when you hide their plaid?
Malcolm MacDonald never expected to find a beautiful but badly injured girl at the beach but as to that - he never expected to find himself at a beach at all especially not at this beach and certainly not as laird of the Clan MacDonald, that's for sure! But when this beautiful, unconscious stranger turns up wearing the plaid of the MacDonald's worst enemy, he can do but hide the plaid and take care of the lass. Will that be enough to ensure her safety? And what will happen, when she remembers her name, will Malcolm be able to keep her?
things get even more complicated, when his cousin Maccus, a drunk, given to raping and terrorising the lasses, turns up, expecting to become laird in Malcolm's stead...
Will Malcolm be able to overcome all hindrances and become a true laird of his clan and keep Marcail at his side?
The book is well written, full of twists and turns with very likeable characters and I really enjoyed reading it. I loved all the hints at mystic things and little twists like that, that fit so well in with the atmosphere of the book and the time and place where it is set. I laughed, I sighed, I was upset and I smiled a bit goofily - well, I really enjoyed reading this book!
