Linda has just finished her degree, but unfortunately doesn't get the job at a museum in London she was hoping for. She then receives a letter from her former professor asking her to restore numerous paintings at his estate on the Isle of Skye. As Linda is in desperate need of money, she decides to make the journey. At the estate, she meets Adam, the professor's son, who is not at all happy about Linda staying at Glenoak Hall. This is because his father had not summoned Linda to restore the paintings in the gallery, but so that his son would fall in love with her. Adam can't deal with permanent relationships at all, but he does enjoy one-night stands with the many female tourists he regularly picks up. Linda on the other hand doesn't have any time for men like Adam, even if he is unbelievably attractive. And if that wasn't enough, the women who have just hopped out of the highlander's bed have been brutally murdered. An exciting romantic novel that takes the reader from London to the Isle of Skye.

HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION! --- For all her life, Lady Evie Verrick had been regaled of tales of the Highlands from her Highland born and bred mother. She had grown up dreaming of chivalrous knights, sword-fighting, horse back riding. Tales of kin and family, loyalty and the warmth of a home. But being brought up in a traditional English household with a traditional father, her mother was the closest thing to the Highlands she could get. And when her mother died of pneumonia before her coming out, left to her father's care, Evie wants now, more then ever, to see the promised lands that she grew up with. --- Connor Gilroy had served as the first in command to the MacKenzie clan for as long as he could remember. He owed his loyalty to his best friend and brother in arms, Hammond MacKenzie, who had saved him from being skinned alive by English soldiers years ago, before the truce was signed between the two lands. Having no love lost for the country, Hammond would be the only person who could ever convince Connor to step foot back into English lands. His chief had recently received news on the death of the aunt he has never met, but Hammond was a man of his word, and he had promised his father he would care for all kin, regardless of who they were. But Connor never would've imagined that the cousin of his best friend would be a spirit of the flames. The way Evie took on life and all of its problems with a passion that ignited a hearth, would perhaps be the first time someone ever ignited more then just passion and desire within him.
