About this eBook

Previously released as A Rose in the Highlands on Entangled’s Amara imprint

1684, Scottish Highlands


Clan chief Grey Campbell would rather die than see Finlarig Castle, his family home, fall into English hands. He’s already had to fight off a blazing fire, likely set by the outsiders constantly lurking outside the castle, so one beautiful Englishwoman flashing a bill of sale does not intimidate him.

Evelyn Worthington has dreams her own. Dreams that could finally come true, now that her brother has purchased a Scottish castle. The trek from England was exhausting, but it will all be worth it once she can get past the brawny Highlander and into her castle... And ignore the passions that flare between them.

It’s a battle of wills, but Evelyn and Grey aren’t the only ones with their sights set on Finlarig. As secrets are revealed and muskets are lit, the fate of the Campbell Clan, Evelyn’s hard-fought plan, and the possible future between this Sassenach and Highlander are in as much jeopardy as their lives.

1684, Scottish Highlands Englishwoman Lady Evelyn Worthington is resolved to build a school for ladies in her brother's newly purchased Scottish castle. She's also fleeing a betrothal her late father arranged but when she arrives, not only does she find the castle scorched by fire, but a brawny Highlander bars her entry. Clan chief Grey Campbell would rather die than see his family home, Finlarig Castle, fall into English hands, so Grey must win the battle of wills with the beautiful Sassenach who flashes a bill of sale before him. A well written well paced novel. The characters have plenty of depth, Grey & Evelyn are likeable & even though they are at odds to begin with soon find that as well as being attracted to each other they also like & respect each other. This is the start of a new series & there are plenty of secondary characters who I hope will have their stories, there’s also Izzy whose reason for not talking needs to be resolved. I found myself engrossed in the book & carried away by the plots, secrets & intrigue that accompanied the romance so much so that I read it in under a day & I certainly look forward to more from the author My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

This tale had action, heartbreak, witty banter, and danger. Evelyn left England for Scotland to try to support herself while running a school. Her good intentions met the wall and menace of Grey. It was entertaining as Grey fought his feelings for the English woman taking over his home. He was so protective when not growling. Despite his attempts to stop her, Evelyn was a force unto herself, doing things to change the castle to suit her needs, and except for a moment or two of weakness, she was strong enough to stand up to Grey as well as the English soldiers threatening the clan. Justine Eyre did a wonderful job with the narration, and she kept me wanting to listen. This is my unsolicited review.
