Kissing The Countess
Susan King

Susan King breathed her own special magic into the marvelous setting of Victorian-era Scotland with her two previous novels, Waking the Princess and Taming the Heiress. Now, she brings us Kissing the Countess, the crowning jewel in a trilogy that is as beautifully written as it is deeply emotional and undyingly romantic…

When Evan Mackenzie, the new Earl of Kildonan, returns to the stunning, remote Highland mountains of his childhood for a climbing holiday, he has no intention of staying. Haunted by tragedy, he plans to sell the vast property and move permanently to the bustling city of Edinburgh. But high on a snowy mountaintop, the earl finds himself stranded alone with the feisty, enchanting Catriona MacConn— and a passionate rescue leads to a sudden marriage. Soon Evan dares to hope that this extraordinary woman can heal his shattered heart, but his reluctant countess has a secret and dangerous mission of her own—something she will protect at any cost, even if it means giving up the love of her dreams…
