Highland Justice

In the captivating third Sons of Sinclair romance (after Highland Warrior), McCollum returns to the 1590s Scottish Highlands and the imposing Sinclair warriors, brothers raised to think of themselves as “the four horsemen of the apocalypse.” When Gideon Sinclair, the Horseman of Justice, spots a radiant beauty dancing in the snow, he’s immediately captivated. It’s feisty widow Cait Mackay, who runs a home for orphans with her friend Rhona, where they care for Cait’s sister, Willa, among others. After Willa falls into an icy creek, Gideon saves her—and Cait repays him by picking his pocket to buy medication and food. It’s not her finest hour, but she wasn’t intending to steal his gold ring. When she sneaks into his castle to return it, she’s caught—but, due to Gideon’s fondness for her, her punishment is not to lose a hand, but to plan a festival at the castle. As preparations commence, Cait and Gideon fall for each other against a backdrop of clan intrigue and war. McCollum’s irresistible characters and their witty banter, along with a taut and perfectly paced plot, will have readers quickly turning pages. This is a first-rate highland historical. (May)
