The Blacksmith's Daughter — Jayne Castel

Nothing ever stays the same. Could taking the leap from friends to lovers risk a beautiful friendship? Cait and Kennan have been friends since they were bairns. Now they both want more—yet neither has dared to reveal their change of heart to the other.  To complicate matters, Cait's over-protective father jealously guards his daughter. He scares off all potential suitors. But Cait and Kennan can't deny their hearts. And in the midst of a long, hot summer, their relationship is about to change irrevocably. THE BLACKSMITH'S DAUGHTER is a prequel short story set in the same world as the STOLEN HIGHLAND HEARTS series. It takes place three years before Book #1, HIGHLANDER DECEIVED, commences.
