A novel in the Celtic Brooch Series, set across Kentucky, Napa Valley, and Scotland.
Meredith Montgomery is the president of her family's multi-million-dollar Napa Valley winery. In the middle of preparing to release a new wine to coincide with the 160th-anniversary gala, she discovers a lump in her breast. Her doctor tells her to go somewhere over the holidays while she waits for the test results. She settles on a trip to Edinburgh, where she'll spend a few days in the archives completing her family's genealogy for the gala brochure.
In Edinburgh, she meets Elliott Fraser at a small bed-and-breakfast. Their connection is immediate, but it's complicated by their health issues and the demands of their multi-million-dollar businesses.
He runs a world-renowned thoroughbred farm with a long history of Kentucky Derby winners. While he's in Scotland for the holidays, an attack on the farm's top breeding stallion threatens not only its life but the future of the farm itself.
What develops between Meredith and Elliott is shaped by distance, obligation, and the habits that have carried them this far. Each is accustomed to managing everything on their own; neither is inclined to give that up, and both know how quickly everything can be taken from them.
The Last MacKlenna is a story of loss, and the risk of allowing someone close enough to matter.
