When the Lady is Wicked. Loch Bana Lairds, #2

Beatrice Kittleridge-Bergeron has accidentally murdered her husband. Though he deserves it, she still feels terrible. What's worse, the authorities are on her trail, which leads to Loch Bana, Scotland, where she seeks the protection of her dearest friend, Lady Victoria MacGarron, as well as employment. She has always been a genius with the needle, so the latter is easy to find. Safety for herself and her daughter, though.not so much. Malcolm Podge-MacGarron, brother of Victoria's husband, decides to remedy the situation.
The lady needs protection, and the fact that she is irresistible has nothing to do with his offer of it. Will Bea accept his assistance-and his love-before winter closes in, or will their chance at Christmas joy pass them by?
