A top agent with Her Majesty's Secret Service, Alex Hepburn
not only was very sharp with his investigative skills, but
he also had a secret weapon. While not as gifted a Seer as
his grandmother, he still had some psychic powers to see
visions that would help him. So when someone took a shot
at him during an attempted assassination plot against Queen
Victoria at Balmoral Castle, he immediately jumped into
action.
Finding a woman's blonde wig at the crime scene, he pulled
the wig to his face and inhaled. Immediately, he saw a
vision of a young lad at a stream. He knew that the lad had
helped the woman and went off with his brother, Gavin, in
search of young villain.
For her part, young Mahri Scot, a former courier for an
underground Scottish faction, was glad she could still
wiggle into a lad's outfit as she had when she was
younger. Captured by Alex, she was soon able to reverse
positions, thanks to Dugald, her trusted childhood
protector. Yet, when she found out Alex was being falsely
charged, she felt compelled to attempt to rescue him.
While losing his heart to Mahri, Alex was forever the agent
and vowed he only kept her close as a needed alibi. Could
he ever trust her? Was Mahri a conspirator for the same
people who had betrayed him before?
Set in 1885, Elizabeth Thornton has crafted a suspenseful
romance with just the right touch of the paranormal while
weaving in an intriguing plot of murders, double crossings,
treacherous weather and unexpected loyalty. THE SCOT AND I
is an
exciting read with its unexpected twists of fate, intuitive
insights and well-drawn and strong characters. While an
intriguing read on its own, fans will be pleased to
know THE SCOT AND I is the second book in Thornton's "Seer of
Grampian" Series with a third book, ROMANCING MISS
CAMERON coming in early 2010. Can't wait for that!
