When journeying to deliver a specially crafted bed to his betrothed, Alex Douglas and his men are ambushed by Colin MacDougall. When he discovers his true betrayer is the woman he's to marry, Alex curses the MacDougalls with his dying breath, vowing to haunt them until the end of all days.

Nearly 700 years later, while escorting a group of ghost- seeking tourists around England, Mara McDougal discovers an antique bed in a specialty shop. Although she loves the bed, there's no way it would fit in her home and leave room for any other furnishings. When she inherits a Scottish castle, the bed is one of the first purchases she makes. Mara has no idea that her bed comes with a ghost, but Alex makes his presence known in a variety of ways

Alex is determined that no McDougal will know a night of peace in his bed, yet this particular McDougal may just change his mind. He delights in tormenting Mara with his spirited presence, and she's equally determined to ignore the Hottie Scottie, her pet name for the most handsome man she's ever encountered, ghostly or living. Their attraction is mutual and flares sensually out of control, and Mara is left to wonder about her future with a man long-dead.

Allie MacKay's HIGHLANDER IN HER BED is a sexy, humor-filled romance with two delightfully amusing characters in Alex and Mara. Their romance, artfully blending past and present, is an entertaining read. The Scottish dialect tripped me up a time or two, but wasn't too distracting from the well-written story. Readers will enjoy this one!
