A Mass Market Original
A sparkling grand finale to USA Today bestselling author Gina Conkle’s Scottish Treasures series with one last daring heist orchestrated by a brave Scotswoman and the man she never meant to fall for.
A Lost Treasure
Corset maker Mary Fletcher lives a life of duty to her sister, her league, and to the Highland clan that took her in years ago. But as she continues the work of her fellow league members, hunting the lost Treasure of Arkaig, a deadly enemy encroaches—and Mary must chase clues in the most astonishing places.
A Favor Returned
Thomas West must save his family’s legacy. Miss Fletcher’s league owes him a debt of gratitude, and there’s no one he wants to collect from more than the icy dark-haired beauty. He can’t believe his luck when her plan takes them both to London’s finest brothel.
An Indecent Proposal
Soon, lines between duty and desire blur whenever Mary and Thomas meet. Secrets come to light about the gold and an undeniable love—a love that will be tested against all that they hold dear…if they survive.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Conkle sends out her Scottish Treasures series with a brisk, sensuous Georgian-era romantic mystery (after A Scot Is Not Enough). Jacobite Mary Fletcher operates her business, Fletcher's House of Corsets and Stays, while secretly working for a Scottish league to recover the Lost Treasure of Arkaig, gold sent by the French to support Bonnie Prince Charlie's rebels. Mary and her friend Cecelia's search takes them to a high-end brothel, the meeting site of a clandestine society, one of whose members they believe has the missing gold. While there, whaler Thomas West saves Mary from the clutches of a drunken sea captain. Their immediate mutual attraction escalates as Thomas gets roped into Mary's misadventures—including breaking into the home of a lord—but even as love blooms, Mary remains wary of marriage. The lost Jacobite gold makes for an enticing treasure hunt plot and the intelligent, resourceful protagonists prove very well suited. This adventurous couple is sure to win readers' hearts.
