The Scottish Heart by Jim Ellis Pdf

A collection of three novels by Jim Ellis, now available in one volume! One Summer: In mid-20th century Scotland, Nathan Forrest, a gifted jazz trumpeter and devout Catholic, falls in love with Dorothy, a Protestant girl from a middle-class family. Against the backdrop of Westburn's doomed shipyards, they must confront the prejudices and hate of their society in order to be together. But will their love be enough to overcome the religious and social conflicts that threaten to tear them apart? The Music Room: Set in 1950's Scotland, Tim Ronsard is a student at St. Mary's School, feeling unfulfilled and ready to leave. That is until music teacher Isobel Clieshman arrives, a Protestant in a Catholic school. Despite the age gap, Tim falls for her, but it isn't until five years later when they meet again that their romance blossoms. However, with societal prejudices and personal struggles to overcome, their journey towards happiness is a challenging one. Westburn Blues: Dante Rinaldi, the son of Italian immigrants in Scotland, becomes entrenched in his family's homeland during a stranded summer with his grandfather in World War II Italy. As a young adult, Dante fights with a band of mountain partisans against the fascists. His experiences, including a delayed young love and post-war struggles in Scotland, lead him to cross paths with neglected adolescent Chris McCoull, who finds his own romance and purpose while working for a Greek-owned shipping line. This carefully researched and historically detailed novel depicts the Scottish-Italian experience with a cast of colorful characters, from sympathetic to truly evil.

The Daring Heart by Carmen Caine Pdf

(Scotland, 1482) To the scandalous Lord Julian Gray, marriage is a malady and nothing more. How can a man even court a lass longer than a fortnight when there are so many pouting lips to kiss? Roaming the courts of Europe, Julian appears to spend his time drinking wine, wagering gold, and dandling willing lasses upon his knee. But no one knows the man behind the mask. No one knows that he is Le Marin--Europe's most daring and brazen spy. But everything changes the night he finds a dagger pressed against his ribs and an alluring hazel-eyed minx in his bed. Born into the Vindictam, the renowned Venetian family of assassins, Liselle dreams of the day she will be allowed to practice the family craft. And when she is sent to the Scottish court, her dream is finally realized. But is it an honor ... or a curse? As the threat of civil war looms over Scotland, and the king's own brother conspires with the English to put himself on the Scottish throne, Julian can't help but be distracted by the mysterious Venetian beauty and her many secrets. But will it be his undoing?

Longing For The Scottish Heart by Earl Cross Pdf

Emma has just finished her first year of college and dreams of a well-deserved vacation. Just not the vacation her parents have booked. Instead of a cruise to the Caribbean, she's taking a journey to Scotland. Specifically, Scotland of the 14th century. Feeling that her parents are way too overprotective, she plans to time-travel to the past for two weeks, returning safe, sound, and unlike her two older sisters, unmarried. This trip will prove once and for all that she is the responsible Welling daughter, and far more mature than her 19 years would imply. Being captured by a rival clan and forced to marry within 48 hours of stepping through the time portal wasn't quite what she had in mind. But the One who created time has other plans, and a sense of humor.
