About this ebook

Surrounded by Highlander brothers and cousins, Shauna MacLeod is used to big and burly men thinking they’re in charge. The visiting American ship captain is a breath of fresh air and a welcome distraction from her daily duties at the MacLeod dock office, even if his past seems to hold more secrets than the sea.

Captain Robert Henderson has his share of complications waiting for him when he returns to New Orleans, so he knows he needs to stay away from Shauna until he’s managed to uncomplicate his life, no matter how tempting she is. Her overprotective family certainly helps him keep his distance.

But when Shauna’s abducted and thrown aboard a ship bound for the Barbary slave trade, Robert races the four winds to find her before she’s lost to him forever.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely lovely romance. I loved the tension buildup throughout the story. Lots of angst and personal drama, but definitely in a bearable way. The characters who were UNbearable, however, were Shane and Jamie 🙄. I understand being protective of a sister or cousin, but falling in love and marrying someone, and turning around and shamelessly trying to push someone she doesn't love on her as a husband? And getting mad at her for being infatuated with Robert? Considering what their stories probably were, that was a bit hypocritical. Though they did get much better in the second half. I did find an inconsistency in the series. In book 1, Rogue of the Highlands, Ian claimed that Bridget was older than him by five years. Since he said he was about 30, that would make her 35. Not only that, but he said she had children. However, in this book, apparently Bridget is 27, and she and her husband never had kids. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I also wish we could have met Robert's brother.

I like a little more spice in my books. Nothing but disappointment till the end. Then things heated up. By then I was wondering if they would ever even kiss.

About the author

I have always been interested in the Arthurian legends and anything medieval. Having taught high school English for fifteen years, I wanted to my own version of those stories!

I live on the bay in Corpus Christi, Texas, with my Bichon Frise, Nicki, and love watching the moon rise over dark water.
