Publisher Description
A fugitive Highlander.
A proper English lady.
Alec Mackenzie knows Lady Celia is key to finding his missing brother. The trouble is, Alec is supposed to be dead, and he needs the world to keep believing that.
The artful ways of Alec Mackenzie.
Alec will do anything to find his brother, including pretend to be a penniless drawing master to London aristocrats. The one man who might know where his brother is being held is a powerful duke, and that duke has daughter who needs art lessons …
Lessons can lead to startling revelations …
Lady Celia is intrigued by the Scotsman, so obviously a warrior, who pretends he is not. She's also intrigued by his instruction on painting the human form, something no young lady should take an interest in. But Celia, ruined by The Disaster and already beyond hope, dares to let the Highlander teach her all he knows …
Note: Alec Mackenzie is the brother of Malcolm from The Stolen Mackenzie Bride. He is an ancestor of the Mackenzie family whose story begins with The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie.
Customer Reviews
Very good!
Alec Mackenzie is a ghost of a man, reported dead along with his family during the war. Hiding out in the open as Mr. Finn Irish painter and art teacher. Alec has been commissioned to teach art to Lady Celia Fotheringhay. Alec has a reason for getting close to Celia, he needs info on where to find his missing brother Will. Word has it that Celia’s father may be hiding Scottish prisoners and Alec plans on using Celia to fret out information including seduction if necessary. Celia is nothing like Alec expected, she’s a feisty passionate woman with a mind of her own.
Lady Celia was caught in a compromising position of her mothers making and has refused to wed the terrible man. Being shunned by society and her mother her one concession is the art lessons to learn to paint portraits of high society.
Both Celia and Alec know there is much more then what appears in each other and there’s a strong attraction but Alec is on a mission and the last thing he needs is to fall for the very intriguing and beautiful Celia. As things escalate and information is gained Alec realizes that Celia may be worth just as much as his brother but there are unknown forces are against them. They may not get the chance to explore their feelings and it will take trusting each other to make it out alive.
The fact that Ian Mackenzie starts this book out made me incredibly happy. Ian is my all time Book boyfriend and one of the best books I’ve ever read. This was a really good book and well worth reading. I need to go back and read Malcom Mackenzie’s and I’m looking forward to Will’s Book to come.
Engaging
Lots happening in this fun story about Alec and Celia. Love those Mackenzie’s!
Boring
This book is to hard to read it drains along and says nothing. I would not buy it.
