In the year 1746, in a game of chance, Jack Kensington from London wins an estate located in the Highlands. Something drives him to travel all the way to see his winings. He is quite surprised to meet the beautiful Isobel sister of the man Jack won her family estate from. Jack is from no bloodline, he is no Duke, no Earl, just a peasant who has learned to be the best of winning in card games by his father. He is not greeted well by the family, nor the servants of Baillannan. Jack does not intend to stay there long for he will sell the estate and make more money, but when he and Isobel start to feel the heat of attraction between them, many things change.

Isobel is quite angry with her brother, Andrew Rose Master of Baillannan who lost their family estate to Jack in a card game, but she forgives him when he has no where else to go. Her uncle and cousin are very angry with the entire ordeal, but even more angry when Isobel asks Jack to marry her so she can keep her family and long time employees together living at the family home. To Jack's surprise he accepts, but there is someone lurking in the shadows who want Jack dead, no matter what. Even though both Jack and Isobel have fallen deeply in love.

TREASURED has great characters, some nice and others who could be killers. Add old tunnels that may hold a family treasure, and sparks flying between Isobel and Jack and you get a very exciting read!

I enjoyed this great read by Candace Camp. I've read many of her books and TREASURED is as geat as the others! A recommened read!
