Who are you when expectations contradict reality? Catie Burke's life had been planned for her since the day she was born. Characterized by her pleasing smile, amenable attitude, and unwavering obedience, Catie naturally succumbed to the Burke family pressure without hesitation. Married to her high school sweetheart, Catie's trajectory inevitably leads her to the next predestined stage of life; motherhood. But for the first time, what if Catie isn't ably to comply with the rigid demands set forth by the Burke family establishment? Owning Cadence Piano wasn't part of the plan for Catie, but music was always an escape where she was permitted to make the rules, not blindly follow those put in place by her family. Sam, a client of Cadence Piano, also wasn't part of Catie's plan but the magnetism and electricity that radiates between the two is undeniable. Grappling with who she has been told she is and who she is meant to be, Catie realizes that a deviation from the plan may be the very thing she needs to find her destiny. Catie must decide whether the conditional love she has always known is worth risking for a chance at the unconditional love found where it was never expected. Editorial Reviews: ★★★★★ - What an outstanding debut novel for Ms. Blair. Absolutely fell in love with the characters. ★★★★★ - This story reminded me what it was like finding my forever love. Exquisite writing and very realistic storyline. ★★★★★ - An intimate portrayal of the conditional love of a family and the need for something more. I can't wait for her follow-up novel.

Yeah, their mothers have been planning their wedding since they were born, but he and Catie are most definitely not friends. He can’t see her as anything but the annoying kid who followed him everywhere. Except, it’s really bothering him that everyone is staring at her in that bikini... Catie got over her crush on Caleb ages ago. So why can’t she see past his ripped body or how unsettled he seems? She’s got her own problems, though. Her future has been set for years and now she’s dreaming of pulling the plug. A week at their families’ beach house is just what she needs to pull herself together, and she has no intention of letting Caleb back into her heart...which would be a whole lot easier if he’d put on a shirt. But a forced week of togetherness full of beach parties, waterslide mishaps, bonfires, and roller coasters sparks more than an understanding.

"...an amazing achievement. This book wrenches the heart, uplifts the soul, and fills the reader with a sense of wonder."- Susan Wiggs, bestselling author "Captures the reader's imagination. Scottish history as rich and heady as a robust wine." - Rendezvous Magazine Catie Morgan's fallen in love with Jamie Cameron, a modern-day Scottish laird. Did she once love his lookalike twelfth-century ancestor? According to the diary that she may have written nine centuries ago, she disappeared into the Highland mists on the night of their wedding. In the present day, a murderer is determined to make certain history repeats itself. She ran from the mist to the clear air near the fire and threw herself at him, planting kiss upon kiss to his jaw, his cheeks, his eyes, his neck. "Oh, Jamie. Jamie." He lifted her to him. "Ye wear my colors," he said. She laughed deeper. Because he was emotional and his Gaelic burr so thick she could barely un¬derstand him, she kissed him again and squeezed his broad shoulders. Her poor darling had probably worried himself sick after telling her to stay close to him--then her dozing off for a nap. "I'm all right. Really, I am. You can stop your worrying." But truthfully, he didn't look worried. He looked dazed. "Ye wear my colors," he repeated. "Aye, Jamie," she agreed, impatient to tell him she knew who had committed the murders. "What is yer name, lass?" "This is no time for humor. I'm trying to tell you that I know who killed--" "I canna understand ye, lass. Is that English you're speaking?" "It's me--Cather¬ine. Don't you know me?" "Cameron, I challenge." Catie glared at the men walking toward them. "Excuse me, but I need to talk to Jamie in private." "Who are ye, lass?" an old man asked. "Catherine," she said. Why was everyone talking in Gaelic? Why couldn't Jamie understand English? Jamie set her down to the ground. "Catherine, ye willna be rude to yer king. Apologize." She frowned her confusion. A ribbon of fear wound up her spine, through her stomach and chest. "My--my king?"
