Overview

A woman with a shattered past. A man who sees the future. Can love rewrite fate? When Raine Garvey's world crumbles after her husband's sudden death-and the devastating secrets he left behind-she flees to a quiet college town in New England, desperate for a fresh start. There, she meets Ron Mitchell, a reserved but compelling professor with An Da Shealladh-the rare Scottish gift of foresight. He insists their fates are bound together, but Raine, still haunted by betrayal, isn't sure she can trust him-or herself. As their connection deepens, painful truths about her husband's life come to light, forcing Raine to question everything she thought she knew about love and loss. Meanwhile, Ron's visions grow stronger, hinting at a destiny she's not ready to accept. When fear drives her back to New York, she must decide: will she keep running from the unknown, or surrender to the possibility of a future she never imagined? A mesmerizing blend of mystical intrigue, emotional depth, and slow-burning romance, Bound by Destiny is a powerful tale of healing, forgiveness, and the invisible threads that shape our lives. Perfect for fans of soulful love stories, magical realism, and fate-driven connections, this novel explores the timeless question: Can we outrun destiny-or will fate always find us? ★★★★★ PRAISE FOR R.

★★★★★ ""This story strikes all the beats you find in romance: hot girl, rich husband, destination wedding, money, a horrible event, friendships, tears, and laughs. Add complex, relatable characters, my favorites being Ron and his bros. What kept ME engaged is an artifice that RMB Pearson (RMBP) uses that made me go ""MOOOOOOAARRRR!"" from chapter 1: a tight and engaging story out of chronological order, told from different perspectives. It transformed what initially appeared to be a romance novel into a page-turner."" - JP.
