Romance Suspense

Scott Maclaren sells his grandparents' home in Ohio and moves to his girlfriend Tiffany's home in California. Formerly part of the Special Forces and originally from Scotland, Scott is ready to settle for a more relaxed and laid back existence now after solving a recent case. Scott has accepted a position as head of the security for Tiffany's father's casinos as well as in his home.

Threats are directed at Scott by his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend and he evades a hired killer. Just as soon as he gets over one catastrophe, he finds another. This one is a threat to his health, which takes a bit to conquer. Scott has a cancerous tumor in his head as a result of his head injury when in Baghdad. Early diagnosis is in his favor. He and Tiffany are looking forward to a cruise to Alaska on a new luxury ship after the holidays. Prior to the cruise he aids in searching for a friend who is missing in Scotland, always being solicited to help because of his Special Forces experience. The last day of the cruise disembarking in San Francisco has Scott called into action again and using his special skills along with a new found friend, also with the same abilities.

This is book three of the Kilted Desire series and is equally exciting, complete with chilling suspense and sizzling action throughout. This is the kind of superman every woman needs! The tale is full of action and mystery which makes it nearly impossible for the reader to put the book down. I loved the two tales prior and I definitely believe this one was equally exciting. I will definitely strive to search out all other works by this very creative author. Who wouldn't want to read about a very sexy Scottsman that takes the world on!
