Publisher Description
As the new chief of Clan Mackay, Gideon Sinclair knows the importance of maintaining order at any cost. To keep the conquered clan in line, Gideon must mete out ruthless justice or risk losing their precious new peace. But from the moment he meets Cait Mackay—aye, from the moment the sweetness of her lips captures his—all of Gideon’s careful objectivity is well and thoroughly compromised.
Cait knows that kissing the brawny Highlander is a dangerous game. It was bad enough she picked his pocket to feed the children in her care, but sometimes a desperate woman must disguise her crimes any way she can. Only her act of deception has made things worse… Because one kiss with the Highland’s most brutal chief leaves her breathless and out of her depth.
Now Gideon must choose between his duty and his heart when his lovely thief is accused of treason against the king himself.
Each book in the Sons of Sinclair series is STANDALONE:

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the captivating third Sons of Sinclair romance (after Highland Warrior), McCollum returns to the 1590s Scottish Highlands and the imposing Sinclair warriors, brothers raised to think of themselves as "the four horsemen of the apocalypse." When Gideon Sinclair, the Horseman of Justice, spots a radiant beauty dancing in the snow, he's immediately captivated. It's feisty widow Cait Mackay, who runs a home for orphans with her friend Rhona, where they care for Cait's sister, Willa, among others. After Willa falls into an icy creek, Gideon saves her—and Cait repays him by picking his pocket to buy medication and food. It's not her finest hour, but she wasn't intending to steal his gold ring. When she sneaks into his castle to return it, she's caught—but, due to Gideon's fondness for her, her punishment is not to lose a hand, but to plan a festival at the castle. As preparations commence, Cait and Gideon fall for each other against a backdrop of clan intrigue and war. McCollum's irresistible characters and their witty banter, along with a taut and perfectly paced plot, will have readers quickly turning pages. This is a first-rate highland historical.

The Sons of Sinclair saga continues with the third installment of the Sons of Sinclair.
This story centers around the third Sinclair son, or what the deceased Sinclair Laird George would call his sons, the Horsemen of war. After his wife died in childbirth, with his fourth son, he was filled with grief and became a bit eccentric and insane. He renamed all his sons from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
They are figures in the Christian religion, first appearing in the Old Testament's prophetic Book of Zechariah and in the Book of Ezekiel, where they are named as punishments from God, and later in the New Testament's final book, Revelation, an apocalypse written by John of Patmos. Gideon Sinclair is the God of God of equality/ balance why he had a set of scales in his bedchamber. Also know as the Horsemen of Justice.

Another phenomenal story by my go to author, Heather McCollum, and a breathtaking story that totally swept me away! I loved so many things in this awe-inspiring magnificent read! It is filled with the brutal reality of children losing parents at such a young age. In this time period and this situation many orphaned children would end up on the streets. Luckily this wonderful inspiring heroine with a big warm golden heart found and saved these neglected orphans. Furthermore, she would do anything to protect them, even if it meant surrendering herself and putting her life on the line.
As for Gideon, who had been trained at a young age-you are either good or bad. Yet once this woman who had been sold into an unwanted marriage at such a young age opened his heart. Gideon began to understand that maybe there are other possibilities and grey areas in life. After all we are all only human and sometimes decisions are made under extenuating circumstances.
Yes, I absolutely loved this story and it a riveting, fast paced, action packed romantic adventure, filled with espionage, treason, murder, arrests, imprisonment, betrayal, robbery, honesty, trust, caring, passion, love and so much more. I loved this book so much from start to finish and can’t wait to read Bás story next! This is definitely a story not to be missed that I highly recommend!
You can read this book as a stand alone book, but I highly recommend to read every book in this brilliant series. I think readers will get a better understanding of the characters and the Sinclair family. This includes the brothers, their sister and the women they fight for! This book was absolutely phenomenal!
