Highland spy Harrison MacMasters knows a pretty face can hide bitter deception. Once, he’d been drawn to Grace Winters and the temptation in her kiss. Now, he knows better than to trust her with anything, including his heart. But now he’s forced to watch over the one woman he hoped to never see again.

Grace Winters will do anything to keep her sister safe, even if it means stealing the Crown Jewels themselves.

Too bad the one man she gave in to temptation with years ago now controls her fate.

GOODREADS

 He may be her fiercest ally…or a scoundrel waiting to betray her.

Johanna Templeton is on a life-and-death quest. Swept into an intrigue that rivals the tales she pens, she joins forces with a Highland rogue to find the treasure that will save her kidnapped niece—a prize the Scot seeks for reasons that have nothing to do with ransom. Engaging the Highlander in a sizzling battle of the sexes, Johanna shields her heart. 

Connor MacMasters, spy for Queen Victoria, is a man on a mission—keep a legendary gemstone from an evil man. Trailing an American novelist who holds the key to the treasure should’ve been simple, but Johanna awakens feelings he’d long thought dead. Torn between duty and desire, he wants her in his bed, but loving her would be a fool’s game. Blasted shame his heart doesn’t agree.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a wonderful Victorian,  adventure romance. 
Miss Johanna Templeton is an American and an author.  She came to London to care for her dying sister and her daughter.  Now her brother in law and niece have disappeared while on holiday in Scotland, and a ransom has been demanded. 
Connor MacMasters is following the associate of a known smuggler of antiquities.  She is putting herself in grave danger dealing with unscrupulous people.  He needs to put a stop to what she is doing. 
This is an absolutely fascinating story.  Our frustrated heroine is trying to deal with a man who insists he knows best.  She doesn't trust him, because he is hiding something.  Our hero has his own agenda and reasons for the way he is bullying her. 
The characters are fun and at times maddening.  A book you will not be able to put down once you start.  I loved it.
