Lady Adela Macleod doesn't have much luck with weddings.
Abducted during her first wedding, she was rescued (in a
previous book by Ms. Scott) and now is trying once more to
marry Ardelve. She may not be passionately in love with
him, but she's looking forward to an orderly, calm life as
his wife.
But she's his wife for only a few hours, as Ardelve dies
during their wedding celebration. Convinced that she wasn't
meant to be married, Adela is trying to decide what to do
amidst much advice from her family. She finds herself
wandering the castle in the middle of the night and
confiding her worries to a soft voice from the darkness.
The next day, she's embarrassed and tries to figure out
with whom she shared her soul.
Sir Robert Logan was thought dead by many, and it's a
situation he encouraged. He left his family as a young man,
angry at his father and brother, and worked hard to gain
respect as a Knight Templar. Now, his father and brother
are dead, and it's necessary for him to return home.
Robert has not even introduced himself to society when he
meets Adela and is drawn to the courageous lady. But his
enemies are trying to extract information they believe he
has, and Robert doesn't think he can ask anyone else to
share that burden.
The saga continues in KNIGHT'S TREASURE -- and Ms. Scott
brings her usual superb pen to the pages. It's fascinating
how a rather annoying character from a previous book
(annoying may be too strong, but Adela was not lovable!)
can show her heart and thoughts and become a much beloved
friend. I must admit that other heroines were more
memorable in this series, but I can still highly recommend
KNIGHT'S TREASURE.
Abducted from her first wedding and widowed an hour after
her second, Lady Adela Macleod, the unluckiest bride ever,
has given up all hope of finding true love…until one
moonless night when an unseen stranger's heart-melting
voice and fiery kiss stir passions she has never known.
Adela is no stranger to Sir Robert Logan, Knight Templar.
Having abandoned his heritage to protect a vital family
secret, and sworn to protect the Templar treasure, Rob is
in no position to pursue the fascinating lass he once
rescued. But then murder forces the issue. When enemies
trying to seize both the treasure and the Scottish
government accuse Adela of killing her husband, Rob is
irresistibly drawn to defend her. Together they will risk
everything-even their love-to protect Scotland's future…and
their own…
