Julie Madrigal was a mother of two children. Once she was legally separated from her ex-husband, she went to the only place she felt safe. The Scottish Highlands. Then again, she had only seen the place in books and videos, but the land called to her. And she wasn't expecting love. Duncan McLaren was the current Laird of the land. He was charming, helpful, and the epitome of a perfect man. Yet he hides a secret that would destroy the very thing he hold dear to his heart. Meeting Julie was kismet and he would gladly give up everything to be with her and the kids. But will love be enough to keep her? Or will the past destroy everything?

Positive.
The pregnancy stick I was holding was positive.
Everything in me began to shut down. I knew that doing the deed without protection was risky. Then again, the man who I did it with should have at least thought about it. But he didn't.
After all, he got what he came to do. A time between a woman's legs for pleasure.
As I relayed to the man who got me pregnant of the news, I could hear the tone of disbelief in his voice. Like he couldn't believe that he got someone pregnant. He was way older than me. Ten years older to be exact, yet he acts like a little boy.
My university friend who I was with at that time was looking at me with worried eyes. When the call ended, all she asked was, "Will you keep it?"
I looked at her with an empty feeling inside and replied, "Of course." She hugged me and told me to be strong, that no matter what happens, the three of us, me, her, and the other friend of us will always support each other.
