Kerr Gordon, next in line to be chief of the Gordon Clan, is tasked by Mary, Queen of Scots to bring to bring a gift to her cousin—and jailer—Queen Elizabeth of England. When he arrives at Whitehall Palace to find a courtly woman tied up in the stables, he acts to save her, only to be rebuked for dispatching an assassin before she could hear his confession. Queen Elizabeth calls Maggie Darby her sacrificial lamb: Maggie's job is to try on all of the queen's gowns and accessories before she wears them—just in case they’re poisoned. Trained by her father, Maggie has no intention of dying in the line of duty. She's learned all about poisons and how to test for them. When the handsome Highland warrior who saved her in the stables is accused of treason, Maggie’s instincts tell her that he’s been framed. As they work together to find the true traitors in Queen Elizabeth’s court, the smoldering fire that’s been growing between them erupts into an inferno that threatens to change their worlds forever.

Bloody Hell! He abducted the wrong woman! Daughter of a traitor, Cordelia Cranfield seeks her freedom by proving her loyalty to the English crown. Since she looks like a young version of the great Tudor queen, she agrees to stand in for her on a delicate mission. But the simple masquerade turns treacherous when a Highlander, working for the French, abducts her, thinking her the great Queen Elizabeth I. Spy for Scotland, Marcus Ruthven has been tasked with infiltrating the French to rescue the English queen, whisking her away to Scotland so she can be thankful and name King James her heir. Marcus ignores the warning signs that this woman is too young and lovely to be Elizabeth Tudor because she’s also clever and courageous, and Marcus is desperate to succeed. They work together to evade the French as well as their growing attraction. One can’t just tup a queen no matter how good she feels in his arms. When Cordelia is revealed, the dam she and Marcus held against their passion for one another, shatters. Missions ruined, emotions raw, they must work together now to save the real queen. But remaining secrets surface, all masks come off, and Cordelia doesn’t know if she can trust the spy who has stolen her heart. Read Free in Kindle Unlimited!

I am Heather McCollum, writer of 16th and 17th century Scottish romance full of adventure and intrigue, sprinkled with humor, history, and spice. Brawny Highlanders and feisty heroines are my favorite characters! I am also a mom of three kids, dog-mom of one rescued geriatric golden retriever, and wife of one 6 foot 4 inch Highlander. When I’m not trying to help my kids make it through the day, baking things I see on The Great British Baking Show, or writing, I’m usually educating women on ovarian cancer (I’m a nine-year survivor). I love kilted heroes, chai lattes, and eating buttered air-popped popcorn for dinner on Friday nights (my dog loves this one too).
