Romance Historical | Romance Suspense

Since Lady Grace Walsingham discovered her sister and uncle are spies for the crown, she has yearned to be a spy for the crown and have adventure. Now she is in Scotland for Ravenna's wedding her sister, she is counting the days to leave this place and back to her betrothed, lord Daniel Casterbrook, in England even if she must endure Fagan Maurrayy's company (the one she blacken his eye).

Fagan Murray, the captain of laird sutherland's guard, mission is to escort the haughty lady Grace back to England. She is beautiful, sharp-tongued and needles him at every turn and makes his job really difficult.

Grace and Fagan's story is fantastic, fun and amazing romance with lots of adventures. I loved the verbal sparring between the hero and heroine, enjoyed the plots and the adventures. Victoria Roberts's writing is captivating and make you laugh, weep and happy. This is one of those books that made me laugh through the whole story and I couldn't put it down.

I highly recommend KILTS AND DAGGERS a delightful, exciting, and romantic highland book.

SUMMARY

Ever since Lady Grace Walsingham discovered her uncle and sister are spies for the Crown, she has yearned for adventure. She's counting the days until she can leave barbaric Scotland behind, even if she must endure Highland captain Fagan Murray's company for weeks. Fagan has a simple mission: escort the haughty Lady Grace back to England. But nothing is ever easy. The sharp- tongued woman needles him at every turn. But when a menacing threat follows them on their journey, Fagan's grudging tolerance for Grace turns to respect...and into a perilous attraction that could seal their fate.

EXCERPT

β€œMister Murray, I don’t feel at ease discussing these subjects with you.” β€œThen call me Fagan. Mister Murray was my father’s name anyway.” Grace looked around and then softened her voice. β€œNow is that truly appropriate?” β€œI told ye before. Ye’re a long way from England, lass. Lest ye forget, ye’re in the Highlands now. We do things differently here.” She lifted a brow. β€œHow could I forget?” β€œRuairi said ye’ll be staying with us for a few weeks. More to the point, I already call Ruairi’s wife Ravenna.” He turned up his smile a notch. β€œYe and I are practically like family. Ye will call me Fagan, and I will call ye Grace, or I could always call ye bhana-phrionnsa. I’ll be kind enough to give ye a choice.” β€œRavenna may permit you to call her by her Christian name, but I certainly do not, Mister Murray. Although you do make me laugh, I’m afraid you and I are far from family.” When Grace’s eyes smoldered, Fagan knew he shouldn’t get too close to the flame for fear of getting burned. There was still enough time to take his leave. Otherwise, he’d be verbally sparring with a lass in the middle of the great hall. Ruairi would no doubt have his head for causing mischief with his kin so soon after the wedding. Fagan slapped both hands on the table and casually stood. Instinctively, he took another step back in case the lass suddenly had a strong urge to reach across the table and throttle himβ€”or worse. Nevertheless, once she heard what he was about to say, the table wouldn’t provide enough space between them. β€œVerra well then. I think bhana-phrionnsa suits ye quite nicely.” When Grace’s cheeks turned scarlet, Fagan smiled. β€œDonna say I didnae warn ye. Remember I did give ye a choice.” He winked at her and then turned on his heel. β€œWait!” He had a hard time trying to mask his smile. He turned around slowly and lifted a brow. β€œAye?” Grace flew to her feet, walked around the table, and closed the distance between them. She lifted her head, and by the way she was unsteady on her feet, he swore the daft lass was standing on the tips of her toes in a futile attempt to look him level in the eye. β€œEngland and Scotland have been warring for centuries, Mister Murray, yet somehow Scotland has never won.” Lifting her skirts, she brushed his arm with her shoulder and took a few steps away from him. That was until he called after her and stopped her dead in her tracks. β€œCuine a chΓ¬ mi a-ris thu, Grace?” When will I see you again? He made certain he said the words as though he spoke to his lover, which obviously had the desired effect because her whole body stiffened, and then she left him without a backward glance. Fagan’s mood was suddenly buoyant. He wasn’t exactly sure why he loved to unnerve Princess Grace, but he had one hell of a time doing it.
