The Secret Gift Jaclyn Reding’s The Pretender introduced a Scottish “hero who is a heartbreaker—ruthless, dangerous, and so sexy you’ll want him for yourself” (Catherine Coulter). In The Adventurer, a fearless lady became prisoner to an infamous barbarian. Now, the bestselling series continues—with the sole descendant of those Scots of yore… Leaving behind her high-speed New York life, bookseller Libby Hutchinson has set off to Scotland in search of her late mother’s ancestry—and is about to find greatest surprise of her life. She’s taken along the few things her mother left her—including a crystal stone that seems to radiate a strange warmth—and an address in a remote Scottish village. In that very corner of the Highlands, Graeme Mackenzie has found a safe distance from the mob of women vying for his heart—and his inheritance. So when her magical stone lands Libby at his doorstep, the fed-up Mackenzie aims his gun at this woman who is both stunned—and stunning. The ensuing battle between the handsome laird and the American lass provides Highland charm aplenty, a mystical stone that has come home, and a love that reaches beyond the ages… “A compelling contemporary romance that warms the heart and satisfies the soul.”—Patricia Rice
