I got this from NetGalley because it sounded good and I'm glad I did. This book had me from page one. Amelia leaves her sister behind and takes her nephew Hamish with her at her sisters urgent request. A man by the name of Sebastian Fawkes has threatened bodily harm to Hamish to get what he wants and that's Amelia. While on the run they stop in a tavern in hopes of finding food and maybe a job for Amelia. They come up with a story to tell people so no one can find them. They meet a lady, her sister,a friend, and their body guards that stop to eat wile on there way home to the highlands. Hamish tells this to the lady and they end up on the road with the lady to her brothers clan in the Highlands. From there the story gets even better. She meets Laird Knox Mackenzie of the Clan Mackenzie. The chemistry between them is almost instant. I could not put this book down it had me captivated. I can't wait to read the other books in this series. I give this story five stars for a beautifully written love story.
