King of Storms

August 1, 2007
Called to the Highlands to lead a secret mission, daring, impulsive Knight Templar Sir Giffard Maclennan encounters in the woods young Lady Sidony Macleod, who impresses, angers, and attracts him with her confident air and stubborn behavior. But Giff has a critical and dangerous job to do, and while a flirtation with Sidony is not a distraction he needs, neither of them can resist the chemistry that simmers between them. Charged with moving the famed Lia Fail (the true Stone of Scone) to ensure its safety, Giff sets his plans in motion, but then Sidony is kidnapped, and the adventure really begins. A gentle, smart, sometimes conveniently unnoticeable heroine and a take-charge hero who learns her true value combine with a castle full of fascinating family members and an abundance of historical and political detail to make this an excellent addition to Scott's Macleod sisters series. Although this intricately plotted story stands on its own, Scott's ("Knight's Treasure") fans will enjoy the reappearance of familiar characters from the series' earlier titles.
