ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 30, 2025
Love bloomed in the ashes of betrayal—fragile, furious, and unstoppable.
Elena
I came to Campbell castle to destroy them, not to fall in love.
The witch’s goblet promised any wish, any power. I stole it to avenge my murdered family. But magic always comes with a price and every time I use my gift, I’m in danger. And the Campbell laird, Ross—fiercely honorable, maddeningly protective, and impossible to ignore—was never part of my plan.
Posing as a healer was supposed to bring me closer to my adversaries. Instead, every secret I uncover pulls me closer to Ross—and to the truth about who really betrayed us both. Now, the man who is supposed to be my enemy is the only person I cannot live without.
Ross
She came to me cloaked in secrets, a healer with fire in her soul. She challenged me, intrigued me, stoked desire in me—and slowly tore down walls I had meticulously built. She was everything I couldn’t let myself need. I never intended to give her my heart. She took it. But then I discover she’s a Gordon spy—the woman who placed my clan in peril. Now, I must decide whether I can trust the lass sent to crush me.
And even as battle looms and treachery surrounds me, I can’t stop loving her.

REVIEW: In “The Highlander’s Enchanted Healer,” by Julie Johnstone I found a wonderful book with a gripping story that intertwines love, betrayal, and the complexities of trust.
I love this author’s work. Her attention to detail is always well thought out, and her characters make me wish I was there to help them figure it out. 😊
The story unfolds as Ross Campbell, an honourable laird, grapples with feelings he never expected to encounter when Elena, a healer cloaked in mystery, enters his life.
Ross’s initial impression of her lies in the shroud of suspicion. She represents everything he should fear, a Gordon spy sent to undermine his clan! However, what he discovers instead is a woman filled with fire, passion, and a spirit that ignites desire in him.
Elena’s character is great.
She is driven by vengeance yet reveals a gentleness that draws Ross closer, making her a formidable force against all odds. She’s capable, strong and pretty resourceful. As Ross navigates his growing feelings for someone he believes is a betrayer, can she trust him? But what about her revenge for her family? 🤔
The author’s writing is vivid and detailed. She paints the Scottish Highlands with lush descriptions, allowing us to feel the chill of the wind and the warmth of the characters’ connections. The magical elements, particularly Elena’s healing abilities, add a magical layer that enhances the storytelling. (Do love a little magic added in 😉)
The internal struggle Ross faces, how to reconcile his growing love for Elena with the fear of her betrayal is well written.
He battles from both past betrayals and the weight of leadership. (I really liked how both compassionate and vulnerable Ross is.) We also have the threat to his clan to figure out! Is Elena friend or foe?
Highly recommended for fans of historical romance and adventure!
