Upon a Winter's Night: a Mackinnon's Rangers Christmas Novella

Reunite with the MacKinnon brothers and their wives for Christmas?and a tale of love, new life, and redemption. The war between Britain and the French is finally at an end, and the MacKinnons are looking forward to celebrating their first peacetime Christmas in five long years. While Iain and Annie have discovered that the pleasures of marriage grow deeper with time, Morgan and Amalie find themselves at bitter odds. Meanwhile, Connor and Sarah have a newborn son to cherish. The family?s preparations for the holidays are interrupted when Iain learns that Britain has not paid the Rangers for the summer?s victorious campaigns. Unwilling to let men who fought under the MacKinnon name suffer deprivation at Christmastime, Iain, Morgan, and Connor leave the warmth of their frontier farm for Albany. There, they find their happy Christmas, and even their freedom, at risk at the hands of a ruthless British officer who holds a grudge against them. With the men gone, Annie, Amalie, and Sarah do their best to prepare for the festivities despite differing traditions, a raging bull?and the gnawing fear that their husbands won?t make it home for Yule. Events begin the day after the epilogue of Defiant ends. The story includes Joseph, Killy?and revelations about the fate of Lord William Wentworth.
