Romance Historical
The king of Scotland is in a snit. Which means Britt MacKinnon, proud captain of the kingโs guard, has an onerous task: fetch Alexanderโs favorite paramour back to the royal bedโnow. Never mind that the crown should be about the business of getting a legitimate heir. Especially since Englandโs 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 kingโs bastard. If the barren queen learns the truth, the foolish girlโs life wonโt 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 kingโs taste for her sisterโs companyโfor 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 kingโs unexpected death puts Scotlandโs very destiny at stakeโand unleashes an ever-tangling web of court intrigues, secretsโฆand lies. Warning: Men in kilts, Scottish accents and a feisty heroine contained herein. A more perfect historical romance does nae exist.
