Michael Hurst has earned a living and a reputation
discovering priceless artifacts in Egypt. When the needs of
investors brings him back to London, he decides to use the
trip home to try his hand at searching for a long lost
family heir loom, the Hurst Amulet.
One thing he did not
expect to discover is the fact that his efficient personal
assistant, Miss Jane Smythe-Haughton, is actually a very
attractive female and not just someone who knows how he
enjoys his tea. Following a new lead on the amulet to
Scotland, Michael must keep his mind on the mission and off
of Jane's rather attractive attributes.
Jane Smythe-Haughton has been hiding a secret for years.
Having to return to the island of her birth for work
purposes, is placing everything she has earned while living
on her own in jeopardy. Will she have to explain her past
to
her eccentric employer and how will he take the news that
she is basically Scottish royalty?
The Hurst Amulet series continues with another
wonderful addition. THE TAMING OF A SCOTTISH PRINCESS is a
fun historical ride with characters that have you laughing
in all the right places. Michael's usual thought process
normally had me in stitches. The manner that uses Jane to
deal with
him had me laughing out loud. The chemistry between the two
characters is magical and really made me fall in love with
each of them. When I discovered that I had stumbled on this
entertaining series towards the end, I immediately went out
and purchased the rest of the books.
The mystery of the Hurst Amulet is revealed! New York
Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins pits a
world-renowned explorer against his strong-willed assistant
as they pursue a long-lost treasure.
A DETERMINED
EXPLORER
When famed Egyptologist Michael Hurst
discovers that the infamous Hurst Amulet is hidden in
Scotland, he insists his trusted assistant, Miss Jane
Smythe-Haughton, accompany him north. Strangely, the usually
unflappable Jane seems perturbed by their destination—the
mysterious Isle of Barra. A fascinated Michael watches as
his staid assistant transforms, revealing intriguing layers
of mystery and vulnerability. Could he be about to uncover
not one, but two, precious treasures?
A DAUNTLESS
PRINCESS
Once her clan’s princess, Jane fled
Barra years ago to avoid a forced marriage. Since then, she
has made her living as efficient Miss Smythe-Haughton—the
perfect (and highly paid) assistant. Now she must confront
her secrets . . . including her feelings for her irascible
employer, too-handsome-for-his-own-good Michael Hurst.
A PERILOUS PLEASURE
Others are also
searching for the missing amulet, however. Can Jane and
Michael learn to trust each other in time to solve two
riddles: the location of the Hurst Amulet, and the meaning
of the vivid passion flaring between them?
