Some loves are written in history.
Others are earned in the aftermath.
Two months after the events of The Ruby Brooch, Elliott Fraser is still standing-running a world-renowned Kentucky Thoroughbred farm, keeping promises, and carrying a grief that refuses to be rushed.
He isn't looking for love.
He's barely surviving the quiet.
Meredith Montgomery, a Napa Valley winery owner and breast cancer survivor, arrives in Elliott's world carrying her own private reckoning. A genealogical journey to Scotland-and a medical fear she's not ready to face-sets her on a collision course with a man who understands loss far too well.
What begins as guarded companionship deepens into something neither of them planned.
But grief has rules.
So does healing.
And second-chance love demands courage neither of them is sure they still possess.
The Last MacKlenna is a contemporary romance that forms the emotional backbone of the Celtic Brooch series-introducing the couple who will anchor the MacKlenna clan for decades to come.
