Romance Historical
The king of Scotland is in a snit. Which means Britt MacKinnon, proud captain of the kingβs guard, has an onerous task: fetch Alexanderβs favorite paramour back to the royal bedβnow. Never mind that the crown should be about the business of getting a legitimate heir. Especially since Englandβs Edward I would love nothing more than to seize an empty Scottish throne. When the handsome soldier appears on her doorstep, Geneen Armstrong has to think quickly. Her twin lies abed in her cottage, pregnant with the kingβs bastard. If the barren queen learns the truth, the foolish girlβs life wonβt be worth a farthing. She must somehow transform her graceless, plain-spoken self into her vivacious, talented sister. Then, after the court is convinced she carries no child, use her herbal knowledge to sour the kingβs taste for her sisterβs companyβfor good. By the time Britt realizes this unusually articulate, ungodly stubborn woman is the wrong woman, tendrils of attraction have already tightened into a bond. A bond that will be tested when the kingβs unexpected death puts Scotlandβs very destiny at stakeβand unleashes an ever-tangling web of court intrigues, secretsβ¦and lies. Warning: Men in kilts, Scottish accents and a feisty heroine contained herein. A more perfect historical romance does nae exist.
