Laird of Rogues (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781644576083)

A Celebrated Smuggler and Whisky Distiller Must Choose Between Love and Freedom in Laird of Rogues, a Scottish Historical Romance from Susan King

-Scotland, 1822-

When King George IV visits Edinburgh, he expects to meet the distiller of Glenbrae, his favorite whisky. So the city's deputy lord provost, Sir Hector Graham, acts quickly to release Ronan MacGregor, Laird of Glenbrae-one of the falsely accused Whisky Lairds-from the castle dungeon to tidy him up for the royal occasion. The provost expects his daughter, who speaks Gaelic, to teach the Highlander some English and manners. What the provost doesn't know: the notorious smuggler is, in fact, a polished lawyer from Perth.

Ellison Graham, Sir Hector's widowed daughter, sets out to transform the rough and rugged Highlander into a gentleman, only to discover he is indeed bred to the peerage, has no intention of meeting the king-and has begun to steal her heart.

Sequestered at a Highland estate with Ellison, Ronan continues the ruse while doing his utmost to help his kinsmen and save his whisky business. He never expects to fall in love with the captivating widow-a secret writer of sensational adventure fiction who longs for some passion and adventure of her own.

Ronan's most guarded secret could bring him a viscountcy but ignites a bitter rivalry that threatens his whisky enterprise and soon endangers the woman he loves. Now Ellison must find the courage to face her fears-and Ronan must choose between coveted freedom and protecting the love that could change his life forever...if only he can stay out of the dungeon.
