X Marks the Scot

He was a Highland rogue— wicked with a bow and just as wicked with the ladies.

Declan MacGregor hadn’t a care in the world beyond finding a soft bed and willing woman…until he had to escort Lady Liadain Campbell to the English court. The woman needles him at every turn, but he can’t just abandon her to that vipers’ nest without protection.

She never asked for a bodyguard…

Liadain wasn’t thrilled to be left in the care of her clan’s archrival. It was as if the man never had a lady tell him no before! And yet as whispers of treason swirl through the court and the threat of danger grows ever sharper, her bitter enemy soon becomes the only one she can trust…

I am always weak for Highlander stories. I devoured this book during the Superbowl only stopping to watch the commercials!  Declan is instantly likeable as a charming rogue who wants nothing more than to be able to return home. Liadain, the healer, keeps crossing his path and she, like him, wants to be able to return home but knows that as a ward of the King her future is not her own. The story is fast paced, deliciously fun and very satisfying.
