But nothing will stop him from escorting his childhood friend, Gwyneth Douglas, to Scotland-and saving the Scottish heiress from fortune hunters. But with their arrival in Scotland comes terrible danger. Now, if they ever hope to satisfy their fiery desire, they will need to thwart the evil that threatens to destroy both their lives... Gwyneth Douglas has a scandalous secret: she's a novelist. More specifically, she writes adventure books, using a pseudonym to protect her identity. Somehow, a blackmailer discovers her occupation, and Gwyneth decides that the only way to protect herself and her fortune is to elope with a fortune-hunting baronet. But when David Pennington (no stranger to scandal himself after the unsolved murder of his sister-in-law, Emma) learns of her plans, he literally refuses to leave her side. Although Gwyneth is initially annoyed with the tenacious David, the feelings she had for him as a young girl return. Unfortunately, they need more than love to protect them from Emma's murderer. The husband-and-wife writing team of Nikoo and Jim McGoldrick, who also write as Jan Coffey, present the last installment in the Scottish Dream trilogy, an entertaining book filled with murder, suspense, and humor, and a satisfying conclusion to Borrowed Dreams (2003) and Captured Dreams (2003) and which stands alone as an exciting tale of the eighteenth century.
