About this eBook
An undercover warrior and her sworn enemy play a seductive game of cat-and-mouse in New York Times bestselling author Monica McCarty’s sexy Highland Guard novel.
Joan Comyn swore allegiance to Robert the Bruce the day she witnessed England’s barbarous king torturing her famous mother, Scot patriot Bella MacDuff. Now the mysterious beauty slips into men’s hearts like a specter and entices England’s most illustrious barons to unwittingly divulge their secrets, then shares them with her king. Known only as the Ghost even among her Highland Guard brethren, Joan has become the most wanted traitor in England.
The man determined to uncover her identity poses her biggest threat yet. Alex Seton once stood with Bruce but now fights for the enemy. Though Joan knows she must avoid the handsome warrior or risk discovery, his knightly chivalry touches a place in her long since buried. When his suspicions grow apparent, Joan realizes she must do everything in her power to stop Alex from revealing her mission and convince the powerful fighter to join forces with the Highland Guard once more. But as the ultimate battle in the great war approaches, will Alex choose love or honor?

Highland guard novel, I was a little disappointed it didn't seem to have the deapth or sensuality that the previous novels ensued. I'm thinking maybe because of the change in publisher

loved this book but I'm upset there was not a reunion scene between Joan and Bella like it hinted at in the epilouge from The Viper. I feel it's incomplete without it considering what we all paid for the whole series!! that being said, I'm sad this series is at its end. I wish it would pick up with their kids and how they find each other! I love all of her work!

I did not want to stop reading it since it's the last installment of this series! I was hoping for some sort of major reunion moment between Joan and Bella, but it was still a wonderful book....I had been dying to read Dragon`s story from the moment he was introduced and it did not disappoint!

About the author
Monica McCarty is the bestselling author of the Highland Guard series, the MacLeods of Skye trilogy, and the Campbell trilogy. Her interest in the Scottish clan system began in the most unlikely of places: a comparative legal history course at Stanford Law School. After realizing that her career as a lawyer and her husband’s transitory life as a professional baseball player were not exactly a match made in heaven, she traded in her legal briefs for Scottish historical romances with sexy alpha heroes. Monica McCarty lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and their two children.
