Lowland Romance Collection - Books 1-3

'Lowland Romance', a series of Scottish historical romance novels by Helen Susan Swift, now presents the first three books in one volume! The series opens with 'The Handfasters', set in Scotland in 1811. Alison Lamont, hailing from the Highlands, travels to Edinburgh in search of a husband. However, her journey is fraught with trouble - she is thrown out of a ball for a stolen kiss and flees from a riot in the notorious Old Town, ultimately spending the night with the eccentric boatbuilder, Willie Kemp. While Alison falls deeply in love with Mr. Kemp, her aunt wishes for her to marry the obnoxious but wealthy John Forres. Amidst this conflict, mysterious footprints are found outside Alison's cottage, and Mr. Kemp's secret remains undisclosed.

The second book, 'The Tweedie Passion', takes us to the Scottish Borders in the 16th century. Jeannie Tweedie of Lethan Valley is a woman loyal to her man and family, betrothed to Robert Ferguson, a man others deem unworthy of her. When the mysterious Yorling kidnaps Jeannie, she discovers a new perspective on life. Torn between two men, Jeannie must determine who is most suitable for her, but the identity of her chosen one remains uncertain, as does the nature of her Tweedie Passion.

The trilogy concludes with 'A Turn of Cards', set in Edinburgh in 1804. Dorothea Flockhart is hiding her past, avoiding men and even failing to be stirred by the personable Captain Rogers, as Napoleon's armies threaten invasion and Scotland's capital hosts hectic balls, with men donning uniforms to confront the impending turmoil. Carrying many secrets, Dorothea navigates the wynds of Edinburgh, but when a figure from her past returns to recreate the nightmares that have haunted her for a decade, the battle between love and fear ensues.
