Review by Booklist Review

After years spent helping her Aunt Zelda at Kishorn Abbey, a refuge Zelda established for women and children with nowhere else to go, Catriona Cat MacKenzie is not about to sit idly by and let it be seized by the Crown after Zelda's death. At 33, Cat would like to have been married, with children, but after the Jacobite Rebellion, there were few eligible men left. Determining that the best way to save the abbey is to enlist the help of her Uncle Knox, the Earl of Norwood, Cat travels to Crieff, where she encounters his mysterious neighbor, Hamlin Graham, Duke of Montrose, who is rumored to have murdered his wife. The truth is, of course, much more complicated, and Cat soon falls for both Hamlin and his ward, Eula. But will the truth about his wife destroy their burgeoning love? Readers who crave strong, independent women; sexy Scots; and Highlands intrigue will be delighted with London's (Hard-Hearted Highlander, 2017) latest entry in the Highland Grooms series, which combines historical accuracy with breathtaking passion.--Quillen, C.
