When beautiful, dark-haired Vanessa MacIan met Edward Romney, Earl of Linton, she told herself she should hate this strong and handsome English lord.

This is another Wolf GEM. It is on my keeper shelf as is "The Rebel & The Rose". This was one of the Better Bonnie Prince Charley books I have read.

This is the love story of an English Protestant earl and a Scottish Jacobite, set against the disastrous attempt to put Charles Stuart back on the throne. Disastrous for the highlands, that is. This book has romance, tragedy, and history. The conflict that keeps the hero and heroine apart is not petty or contrived. Vanessa MacIain must choose between her family and their loyalty to the Stuart king and the one man in the world she is meant to love.
