Product Description
Product Description
Three centuries ago in Scotland a curse was born of the long-standing feud between the Claren and the MacKinnon clans. Now, generations later, destiny has decreed that three women, the last of the Claren line, be granted one final chance to set things right.
Maggie, Cailean, and Delaney Claren are three cousins who grow up unaware of one another—until an inheritance brings them together. Now mysterious journals and the deed to an ancient Scottish castle will bring them face-to-face with the warriors at the heart of the MacKinnon family, three brothers sentenced to cruel fates by a terrible curse.
Duncan is trapped in the form of a ghost, Rory must live an immortal life alone, and Alexander has been wrenched by time from the past to the present, with no way back. Ferociously compelling, dangerously relentless, they are bound by no mortal laws—except desire for the three Claren women. The journals speak of one key that can break the powerful spell. And finding that key will plunge them all into a world of unforeseeable danger and tantalizing desire....

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Three hundred years ago, the plan for peace between the two Scottish clans was a simple one that would have worked. Three MacKinnon brothers (Duncan, Rory, an Alexander) were to marry Claren clan members, thus, binding the two groups through marriage and children. However, just prior to the wedding, one of the grooms vanished. Each clan blamed the other and for the next three centuries the feud intensified.
Late in the twentieth century, Maggie Claren flees from her dangerous former fiancé to an isolated cabin she just inherited. There she meets the ghost of Duncan. At the same time, her cousin Claren meets Rory, who is afflicted with wearying immortality. Another cousin, Delaney, finds Alexander, an individual catapulted from the past. Apparently, someone placed a successful curse on the three MacKinnon siblings and only an unknown key can break the spell. As the three couples fall in love, the feud between the clans seems over or perhaps history is to repeat itself by starting the conflict over again.
THE LEGEND MACKINNON is an extremely complex otherworldly romance that would collapse under the trio of tales if attempted by anyone with less talent than the gifted Donna Kauffman. Instead, the story line with the three prime sub-plots dexterously binds into one dramatic main tale that the audience will devour. The six lead characters are fully developed (no easy trick) and their motives read loud and clear. Any reader who relishes an elaborate but entertaining paranormal romance that feels real needs to peruse THE LEGEND MACKINNON, which may be the start of the legend Kauffman.

I have always enjoyed the paranormal and I have always enjoyed Scottish love stories. Reading the two together has been a favorite of mine since I started reading historical romance so long ago. BUT I have never had the pleasure to read a story involving six main characters including a Ghost, an Immortal and a Time Traveler, not to mention a seer thrown in for good measure! Each couple was as different as night and day but as strong as one another. This book has everything and the most important part is that it works! BRAVO!

Maggie, Cailean, and Delaney Claren are three cousins who grow up unaware of one another – until an inheritance brings them together. Now mysterious journals and the deed to an ancient Scottish castle will bring them face-to-face with the warriors at the heart of the MacKinnon family, three brothers sentenced to cruel fates by a terrible curse. Duncan is trapped in the form of a ghost, Rory must live an immortal life alone, and Alexander has been wrenched by time from the past to the present, with no way back. Ferociously compelling, dangerously relentless, they are bound by no mortal laws – except desire for the three Claren women. The journals speak of one key that can break the powerful spell. And finding that key will plunge them all into a world of unforeseeable danger and tantalizing desire…
This is basically three books rolled into one story – ghosts, immortals, witches, time travel and love, what more could you ask for.
