Publisher's Summary

"[Narrator Saskia Maarleveld] captures each character's personality, helping listeners feel as if they're witnessing the story. A lovely listen for those who enjoy historical romance. " — AudioFile Magazine

Scottish pride, persuasion, and passion—this is Highland romance at its breathtaking best.
From USA Today bestselling author May McGoldrick comes Highland Crown, the first book in the Royal Highlander series.

Inverness, 1820
Perched on the North Sea, this port town—by turns legendary and mythological—is a place where Highland rebels and English authorities clash in a mortal struggle for survival and dominance. Among the fray is a lovely young widow who possesses rare and special gifts.

WANTED: Isabella Drummond
A true beauty and trained physician, Isabella has inspired longing and mystery—and fury—in a great many men. Hunted by both the British government and Scottish rebels, she came to the Highlands in search of survival. But a dying ship’s captain will steer her fate into even stormier waters. . .and her heart into flames.

FOUND: Cinaed Mackintosh
Cast from his home as a child, Cinaed is a fierce soul whose allegiance is only to himself. . . until Isabella saved his life—and added more risk to her own. Now, the only way Cinaed can keep her safe is to seek refuge at Dalmigavie Castle, the Mackintosh family seat. But when the scandalous truth of his past comes out, any chance of Cinaed having a bright future with Isabella is thrown into complete darkness. What will these two ill-fated lovers have to sacrifice to be together…for eternity?

I couldn’t put it down

May McGoldrick has quickly become one of my favourite authors and once again she’s delivered a brilliant story. I was quickly caught up in the pull of the fast paced storyline and loved the mixture of history and fiction. Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series.
