Add To


Georgina Townsend has never behaved like a "proper" lady. Her family accuses her of being impulsive, sometimes to the point of recklessness. And they must be right. Because when a band of Highland outlaws steals Georgina's late mother's music box, instead of letting the proper authorities take care of the matter, she disguises herself as a Highland lass and joins the group of outlaws to find the stolen item. She certainly doesn’t plan on falling for their charming leader…

Malcolm Stewart has never met a more bold and captivating woman than the mysterious lass who suddenly shows up to join his small band of outlaws. But while she fits in easily, she’s more distracting than he expected. When he returned from the war to find his life destroyed, Mal decided to get revenge on the Highland landlords, whom he blames for the death of his family. Falling in love isn’t part of that plan—especially not with the sister of one of the very landlords he's sworn to fight against.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Georgina Townsend is furious when she finds someone has stolen her music box.  There is only one thing to do,  go and get it back.  Our brave and independent heroine is part of a loving family,  but has a health problem that is causing her heartache. 
Malcolm Stewart is a soldier who came home to find his whole family wiped out by the highland clearance.  All these aristocrats forcing out families to make way for sheep have to pay for what they have done. 
Our hero is a thief who is trying to make things better for his little band of misfits. 
A lovely,  witty highland adventure with wonderful characters.  It is part of a series,  but easily read alone. 
Good fun.

Llynmore Castle is the only place Annabel Lockhart has ever considered home. For years, she’s been able to live as she wished, freely roaming the wild moors. Now there’s a new earl, as arrogant as he is handsome, and he wants her out. But if he thinks she’ll go quietly, he’s in for a surprise. 

Theo Townsend returned from war a changed man. After unexpectedly inheriting an earldom and a secluded castle in the Scottish Highlands to go with it, he thinks he’s found the perfect place to hide from the world—until he arrives to find a spirited, beautiful woman already in residence. He can’t just throw her out, but surely there's a way to get her to leave on her own. The sooner she's gone, the better, especially when he realizes there’s more than just mutual dislike between them.

Theo Townsend is the new Earl of Arden.  He inherited the title from an uncle he knew nothing about.  The entailed lands are in the highlands of Scotland,  that makes them ideal for someone like him.  Since getting back from the war he just wants to be left alone in peace.  His siblings however insisted on accompanying him.
Annabel Lockhart and her aunt have lived in the castle for years.  It´s their home and she will not give it up without a fight.  She also has someone else she must protect.
Our hero is mentally and physically damaged from his war time experiences.  Closing himself away is the only answer.  Our heroine has not had a happy life and doesn't want to give up what she has.
A very emotional story that will tug on your heartstrings, and where you will easily fall in love with all the characters.  This story is historical but could just as easily be contemporary.  Coping with the after effects of battle and feeling unloved can happen to anyone.
I loved it.
