About this ebook

Virginia Whitebridge is trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage. The law says her husband can have whatever he wants from her—so he's taken her inheritance. And he tried to kill her. After a close escape, Virginia feels protected for the first time in forever, thanks to the Scottish Highlands and the Highlander Magnus Sinclair. But she must go back to England, regardless of the danger, to reclaim what's hers. Even if it means leaving her heart in Scotland.

It's just Magnus's luck that he's fallen for a woman he can't have. Virginia is rich and titled... and English. To keep her safe, he must follow her to the one place he loathes—England. Where the bowing, preening London Society has a secret language of manners unknown to him. Where he is too large, too uncivilized, too everything.

Despite omens that death awaits him there, Magnus vows to help Virginia go to London and restore her fortune. Get in. Get out. Or die trying.

Virginia Whitebridge is trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage. The law says her husband can have whatever he wants from her so he's taken her inheritance even though it was bequeathed to her from her father. Then Virginia is abducted & finds herself trapped on a ship where more women join her until there are five of them ready to be sold in the West Indies. They are rescued & Virginia feels protected for the first time in forever, thanks to the Scottish Highlands and the Highlander Magnus Sinclair. It's just Magnus's luck that he's fallen for a woman he can't have. Virginia is rich, titled and English. He'll do anything to keep her safe & despite omens that death awaits him there, Magnus vows to help Virginia go to London and restore her fortune. This is the second book in the series but stands on its own. We met Virginia & Magnus briefly in the first book. I thoroughly enjoyed the vast majority of the book but did find it hard to comprehend why on earth Virginia insisted on returning to England to have her money returned. A married woman even a member of the aristocracy had no legal standing & when she marries all her worldly goods became her husbands unless he deems it otherwise so she had a snowballs chance in hell of getting her money back. I realise that the return to England was part of the bigger picture but it just niggled. Otherwise the story flowed well, the characters were well fleshed. I loved Magnus & I certainly wouldn’t have left him! Virginia was a strong woman to have suffered abuse, been held captive & wanted to fight for orphans. I liked the humour in the story & found myself riveted & read the book in under a day My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Jennifer Tretheway takes us on another amazing adventure, with her strong characters and wonderful prose. First the title told me that our Heroine could never forget the Scot, I mean why would you! Virginia finds herself in a terrible marriage to a man who had only wanted her money. Unexpectedly she is taken in broad daylight and ends up a ship with several other women! But as luck or in this case fate would have it, she is rescued by a Scottish Clan of men and she meets Magnus. The two have a strong attraction, but of course she needs to go back to England to claim what is hers that her husband stolen. Magnus is determined to go with her and be her protector but England is that last place he wants to go. This story is fast paced and the plot will have you guessing and afraid to take a breath. Action, suspense, passion and love is woven together with great secondary characters that will take you to the end. Cannot wait for the next book by this talented author.

About the author

Jennifer Trethewey is an actor-turned-writer who has moved her performances from the stage to the page. She would, if she could, live half of every year in Scotland. It’s the next best place to home. She never feels like a tourist in Scotland “because the people there always seem like they are expecting you, like you are a long-lost cousin come to visit.” Her love for Scotland has been translated into her first series of historical romance novels, The Highlanders of Balforss.

Trethewey’s primary experience in bringing the imaginary to life was working for one of the most successful women’s theater companies in the nation, where she was the co-founder and co-artistic director. Today, she continues to act but writes contemporary and historical fiction full-time. She lives in Milwaukee with her husband. Her other loves include dogs, movies, music, good wine, and good friends.
