ABOUT THIS BOOK Inverness, 1820 Perched on the North Sea, this port town―by turns legendary and mythological―is a place where Highland rebels and English authorities clash in a mortal struggle for survival and dominance. Among the fray is a lovely young widow who possesses rare and special gifts. WANTED: Isabella Drummond A true beauty and trained physician, Isabella has inspired longing and mystery―and fury―in a great many men. Hunted by both the British government and Scottish rebels, she came to the Highlands in search of survival. But a dying ship’s captain will steer her fate into even stormier waters. . .and her heart into flames. FOUND: Cinaed Mackintosh Cast from his home as a child, Cinaed is a fierce soul whose allegiance is only to himself. . .until Isabella saved his life―and added more risk to her own. Now, the only way Cinaed can keep her safe to seek refuge at Dalmigavie Castle, the Mackintosh family seat. But when the scandalous truth of his past comes out, any chance of Cinaed having a bright future with Isabella is thrown into complete darkness. What will these two ill-fated lovers have to sacrifice to be together…for eternity? MY REVIEW HIGHLAND CROWN by May McGoldrick is an engaging historical story with strong characters and plenty of drama which quickly became addictive. Isabella Drummond is unlike other women of her time and is wanted by both the British and the Scottish for their own reasons. Determined to flee, Isabella unexpectedly ends up saving the life of Cinaed Mackintosh who has his own demons and secrets lurking in the dark, and their instant connection is unexplainable but fierce. He will keep Isabella safe any way he can and his family castle seems like the only place they can turn. But there is danger around every corner threatening to tear them apart ... Adventurous, energetic, and compelling throughout, I thoroughly enjoyed HIGHLAND CROWN by May McGoldrick and look forward to the next instalment in this new series. The characters are well-developed and I enjoyed Isabella's grit and strong spirit as she faces every challenge and the love between her and Cinaed made my heart flutter. The historical time period comes alive on the page and I felt fully immersed in it all from start to finish. It has been a while since I read historical romance but I won't let the time lapse again. HIGHLAND CROWN by May McGoldrick is perfect for historical romance fans and I highly recommend it . AUTHOR BIO Two peas in a pod, a pair of halfwits, the Laurel and Hardy of romance fiction...Nikoo & Jim McGoldrick were married in St Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin 68 years ago before a worldwide television audience. After a honeymoon tour of their oil fields in Iran, they embarked on a writing career that has produced dozens of New York Times bestsellers, two Academy Award Winning film adaptations, and a Nobel Prize for Literature. After all this, fortune FINALLY smiled on them and they won the New Jersey Lottery. Taking their two sons, Nikoo and Jim spent a year backpacking through Africa and then seven years in Tibet, teaching the Dalai Lama the subtle intricacies of Scrabble. Upon returning to the States, these two storytellers wrote forty adult and young adult novels, four of which were RITA finalists and three which were NJRW Golden Leaf winners. They have also written two nonfiction works. Nikoo picked up an engineering degree somewhere along the way, and Jim has a PhD in 16th Century British literature. These two write under the pseudonyms of May McGoldrick and Jan Coffey and now reside in southern California.
