   Scottish pride, persuasion, and passion―this is Highland romance at its breathtaking best. From USA Today bestselling author May McGoldrick comes Highland Crown, the first book in the Royal Highlander series. 
      Inverness, 1820

Among the fray is a lovely young widow who possesses rare and special gifts.     WANTED: Isabella Murray Drummond 
  A rare beauty and trained physician, Isabella has inspired longing and mystery—and fury—in a great many men. Hunted by both the British government and Scottish rebels, she came to the Highlands in search of survival. But a dying ship's captain will steer her fate into even stormier waters. . . and her heart into flames.    
      FOUND: Cinaed Mackintosh 
   Cast from his home as a child, Cinaed is a fierce soul whose allegiance is only to himself. . .until Isabella comes along. Now that she's saved his life—and added more risk to her own—there is nothing Cinaed won't do to keep Isabella safe. Soon, the couple's only choice is to seek refuge at Dalmigavie Castle, the Mackintosh family seat, where the scandalous truth of Cinaed's past throws any chance of a bright future with Isabella into complete darkness. What will these two ill-fated lovers have to sacrifice to be together…for eternity?
