In the year 1746, in a game of chance, Jack Kensington
from London wins an estate located in the Highlands.
Something
drives him to travel all the way to see his winings. He is
quite surprised to meet the beautiful Isobel sister of the
man Jack won her family estate from. Jack is from no
bloodline, he is no Duke, no Earl, just a peasant who has
learned to be the best of winning in card games by his
father. He is not greeted well by the family, nor the
servants of Baillannan. Jack does not intend to stay there
long for he will sell the estate and make more money, but
when he and Isobel start to feel the heat of attraction
between them, many things change.
Isobel is quite angry with her brother, Andrew Rose Master
of Baillannan who lost their family estate to Jack in a
card game, but she forgives him when he has no where else
to go. Her uncle and cousin are very angry with the entire
ordeal, but even more angry when Isobel asks Jack to marry
her so she can keep her family and long time employees
together living at the family home. To Jack's surprise he
accepts, but there is someone lurking in the shadows who
want Jack dead, no matter what. Even though both Jack and
Isobel have fallen deeply in love.
TREASURED has great characters, some
nice and others who could be killers. Add old tunnels that
may hold
a family treasure, and sparks flying between Isobel and Jack
and you get a very exciting read!
I enjoyed this great read by Candace Camp.
I've read many of her books and TREASURED is as geat as the
others! A recommened read!
Love is in the cards for a young Scottish heiress in the
first book of a delicious new trilogy of historical
romances, Secrets of the Loch, from New York Times
bestselling author Candace Camp.
A family legend of hidden treasure mingles with the mist
over the shores of Loch Baille… But it’s not the cache of
gold dating back to Culloden that Jack Kensington claims
when he arrives in the Highlands; it’s the house he won in a
London card game from a luckless Scotsman.
Stunned to learn that her wastrel brother wagered their
family estate, Isobel Rose must find a way to save her home
and the people she loves…even if it means accepting a
loveless marriage. Or perhaps not so loveless? Isobel
unlocks the secrets of desire in the arms of the mysterious
and handsome Englishman, but a series of “accidents” makes
her fear that she will soon be a widow instead of a wife. As
their hunt for lost riches turns into the search for a
killer, Isobel fights her attraction to the man who stole
her birthright…but can Jack convince Isobel that he can
provide a home for her heart, and a love to treasure?
