“Lass," Rory sighed. “Ye challenge me to be honorable, while ye tempt me to be dishonorable.”
Rory Patterson is a ghost haunted by his past, and he’s in no hurry to leave the moor. Since The 79 are the only real family he’s known, he’s pledged his loyalty to them. But the wee witch has a different plan and gives him two days of mortality in which to complete a quest.
When pretty Lilly Carver asks for those days to help her claim her ancestral land, where will Rory’s loyalty lie? Who will protect Lilly from those who wish to sever her Scottish roots, and who will protect Rory from the demons of his past?
Two days. Two quests. Who will finally make it home?

Another nice romance and after conflict resolved, a satisfying end
Enjoyed this story Lilly was a bit of a whiner. But Rory made up for her weakness with his strength defending her in the crisis, falling reluctantly in love with Lilly, even though he could not in his mind offer her a future.

Such a wonderful journey of trust and heritage played out in a great story. Good characterization and feelings of completeness.

Awesome
These stories are so good. The authors have to make a lot happen in a few pages and they are very good at what they do.

Great
This is one of those few stories that you want to read again. I know I do and will. I only wish to know what comes next for these two.

Good story but ??
I enjoyed the story as I have others in " The ghosts of Cullodon, " I just wish the writer had put in a bit more research into the land laws of Scotland. There are no laws of trespass in Scotland you can not be arrested , there is the right to roam anywhere as long as you follow the country code even private property. A person may own the land but are seen as caretaker they can not prevent the people of Scotland from enjoying their own Country.
