Lady Sabrina Bell has never been so embarrassed in her life. Not only did her new suitor fail to appear for their morning rendezvous in Hyde Park, but a thief pushed her into the Serpentine. Being rescued by a burly Highlander just adds to her humiliation. Nor is he content with rescuing her just once. Even when Sabrina travels to Edinburgh as part of King George’s entourage, Graeme Kendrick is there, interfering, exasperating, and so very tempting . . .

Once notorious for being the most unruly Kendrick brother, Graeme now runs dangerous missions for the King’s spymaster. Yet nothing has prepared him for Sabrina. The only child of a wealthy earl, and the pampered goddaughter of the king himself, she is stubborn, impetuous, and far too good for him. He doesn’t deserve her, but he can protect her and then send her safely back home. But the bonny Sassenach has her own ideas—and a plan for seduction that no red-blooded Highlander could resist . . .

Graeme was the perfect Kendrick for the next book. I loved the little glimpses that we saw of him in the previous books and was excited to see his story laid out. Graeme has a heart of gold even through he keeps things cool on the outside. But that makes him a very compelling main character. Once he meets Sabrina, the story kicks into gear and we are off on an adventure. Their banter is great but even more, I loved the little bits of humor. Sabrina isn’t as strong as Ainsley, but she’s a great addition to the Kendrick clan. I can’t wait to see what happens next to the family.
