The past versus the future. Professor and sometimes-journalist Claire Agnew expects that debate in towns where wind farms come to call. Snowbound in a castle in Scotland, however, the contrast becomes starkly real. Standing on the battlements of the ancient Castle Glenhoolie, at the end of a fjord that has seen Viking raids and English garrisons, her commitment to progress is shaken as she imagines the historic landscape lined with the wind turbines she usually finds so sleek and sexy. Turbines aren’t the only attraction of Castle Glenhoolie, however. Broad-shouldered, long-legged Alec Kincaid is equally intriguing as he shares his local knowledge and insights into local wind farm politics. To Alec, Claire is refreshingly open, delighted in the village of Dunlorrie and the ancient buildings he disdains… until he realizes why she is asking so many questions. Feeling betrayed, he examines his feelings and his knowledge of Claire against his personal history. She, in turn, must come to grips with the demands the past make upon the present, as she considers the future of Castle Glenhoolie and her own future amidst The Winds of Glenhoolie.

The hills of Scotland don’t compare to the high peaks of the Karakorum or Himalayas for, but mountain climber Hannah Fitzhugh has had her fill of them. After losing a climbing partner near the top of K2, the world’s most savage peak, she craves stability. But first, she will spend one last season on the rocks, teaching classes of secretaries and accountants to scamper up sheer cliffs. Scottish textile merchant Andrew McKinnon is certainly stable, with a thousand years of family centered at Castle Glenhoolie. Having stability, he craves success and, maybe, a hint of adventure to build a life well-lived. The attraction between Hannah and Drew is obvious, but in seeking stability, is Hannah repeating the mistakes of her past? And will their budding relationship be placed in jeopardy with the reappearance of the lively Lady Alexandra Chisholm-Browne and the revelations of what really happened on K2?
