Summary

'They say he brought back some Spanish gold and others say he didn't bring anything except the rags he was wearing but had the power to turn stone into gold and that the two stories somehow got mixed up.'
Did Olghair MacKenzie steal alchemical secrets from the Egyptians? Or was he a rebel pirate who found refuge on a small Scottish island after the Armada? Does his treasure still lie hidden there? 
Six hundred years after MacKenzie's death, an ex-footballer returns to the island where he spent his youth. As the first  frosts of winter arrive, Jack moves into a fisherman's cottage fragrant with the scent of the sea. After many restless years, it is a true homecoming. Delighting in his employment as postie, he starts to reconnect with himself, with his family and with this tiny community. 
The tale of Olghair MacKenzie has fascinated Jack since childhood and he resolves to discover the truth behind the legend. To do so, he must unlock the secret of a bridge the shape of a perfect wave, understand the significance of stone number 759 and find out what is meant by the eighth moon. Can Jack trust the dreams of the local seer, or grasp the clue in the old Gaelic way of counting the months?
Jack's quest is truly magical, for it will lead him into very personal territory, unveiling links that tied him to the island long before he ever set foot there.

    Amelia had always been known for her compassionate nature. From a young age, she exhibited a deep empathy towards all living beings, whether they were human or animals. Her friends often marvelled at how she could sense the emotions of others and offer comfort in times of need. It was as if her heart had an innate ability to connect with the pain and joy that surrounded her.
Living in a small village nestled near the edge of a vast, enchanted forest, Amelia found herself in a world where nature's beauty was both her playground and her solace. The village was known for its close-knit community, where everyone looked out for one another. Amelia's compassion naturally found a home here, as she often volunteered to help the elderly, tended to injured birds, and offered a listening ear to those who sought her out.
One cool autumn day, as the leaves began to change their colours and the air carried a hint of impending winter, Amelia decided to take a solitary walk into the heart of the enchanting forest. She had always felt a deep connection to the wild, untouched parts of nature, where she could hear the whispers of the trees and feel the heartbeat of the earth beneath her feet.

    "Get out of my room. I'm your stepsister," I muttered, quickly hiding my naked breasts.
 
"You only remember it around me?" he hissed, his silver eyes narrowing into my face.
 
"I saw you with your other stepbrother," he added.
 
"I didn't do anything with him either," I hissed.
 
"Really? He didn't paint you naked?" As soon as he said that, I realized he had seen us together.
 
"If you are going to let him touch you, then I should be allowed too," he stepped closer, "after all, I am not only your stepbrother but your mate too."
 
I wish I could tell him that I have felt the mate bond with all my stepbrothers, and I was worried about what would be the end of us if anyone found out about this forbidden bond.
 
...
 
Nora had lived a rather dull life until bullying in school escalated, and her stepfather made a decision to take her home and introduce her to her Alpha Stepbrothers. What started as her desire to have a family that loves her turned sinister when, one by one, she felt the mate bond with her stepbrothers. Now it was up to her to decide whether she wants a family or mates. However, she soon realized that her hot, rude stepbrothers had been trying to tame her all this time.
