About this eBook
“Action, drama, desire, revenge: Shadow Music includes all the necessary ingredients for romantics to plunge into the moors, mountains and magical myth of medieval Scotland.”—The Roanoke Times
Prized for her exquisite beauty, Princess Gabrielle of St. Biel, the daughter of one of England’s most influential barons, is a perfect bargaining chip for a king who needs peace in the Highlands: King John has arranged Gabrielle’s marriage to a good and gentle laird. But this marriage will never take place.
Upon her arrival in Scotland, Gabrielle is immediately entangled in Highland intrigue, as a battle royal flares between enemies old and new. For two sadistic noblemen, underestimating Gabrielle’s bravery and prowess may prove fatal. Colm MacHugh, the most feared man in Scotland, makes no such mistakes about the captivating princess. Under his penetrating gaze, neither Gabrielle’s body nor her heart is safe.
“No one does historical romance better than Garwood. . . . Gabrielle is an enchanting heroine.”—The State (Columbia, S.C.)
“A compelling historical romance.”—Publishers Weekly

I feel like so many Garwood fans were asking for historical romance (vs her modern FBI books) that she just threw this one together in a jiffy. Not a favorite.

I liked it, it is the last in a series that started with The Secret and then Ransom. I loved both those books they are the 2 best highlander romances ever written. The problem with Shadow Music is that there was no update on the Ransom story between Ramsey Sinclair and Brighid KirkConnell.
