Book excerpt: RITA Award–Winning Author: Searching all over Scotland for a ring gone astray, they may find something even more valuable . . . Penniless Mary Rennie knows she’s lucky to have a home with relatives in Edinburgh, but she does crave more excitement in her life. So when her cousin’s ring is lost in one of several fruitcakes heading around the country as gifts, Mary seizes the chance for adventure. When widowed captain Ross Rennie and his son meet Mary in a coaching inn, they take her under their wing. After years of battling Napoleon, Ross’s soul is war weary, but Mary’s warmth and humor touch him deep inside. Soon, he’s in the most heart-stopping situation of his life—considering a wedding-ring quest of his own! “Kelly has the rare ability to create realistic yet sympathetic characters that linger in the mind.” —Library Journal
