Highland Collection Books in Order

Highland Collection is a two-book historical set that begins in the Scottish Highlands and then widens into a bigger world of travel and risk. The stories have the feel of classic adventure fiction, but with the relationship choices and inner growth that Phillips and Pella return to again and again.

The first book, Jamie MacLeod, centers on a young Highland woman facing the limits placed on her, and the consequences that ripple through a close community when love and duty collide. It’s intimate, grounded, and full of small turning points that matter later.

Then the series shifts gears.

In Robbie Taggart, the focus moves to a man who leaves the Highlands after his hopes are crushed and throws himself into life at sea. He’s chasing fortune and freedom, and the journey carries him far from home, from London out toward Shanghai, where pride and impulsiveness can turn genuinely dangerous.

Together the two novels trace what happens when people try to outrun pain instead of dealing with it. The external stakes are ships, storms, and unfamiliar ports, but the deeper arc is about learning humility, choosing faith over ego, and discovering what kind of love is worth coming back for.

If you want a short series that still feels like a full journey, start with Jamie MacLeod and follow straight into Robbie Taggart.
