Publisher Description
British heiress Charlotte Holloway never had any interest in marrying…
However, a woman in Victorian England spends her life in the control of men, making finding a husband necessary. Fearing his daughter losing everything when he dies, Charlotte’s father forces a match with an old friend, Richard Howard. But Richard is much more interested in an heir than a wife, and will do anything to continue his bloodline.
Beaten and battered, Charlotte sees no way out of the union…
Then the handsome Scottish laird Conner MacLeod crashes the social scene. He sets her body on fire with a mere touch, but he has a bad reputation of leaving a string of women in his wake. Nonetheless, when Conner offers his emerald queen sanctuary in his Highland castle, Charlotte flees with him into the night, escaping her marriage. But those who wish to trap her are never far behind.
The Highlands give her hope, but fill her life with new perils…
She and Conner begin growing closer, although the shadows of his former relationships haunt her. Still, the magnetic forces that pull them together are making it harder for her to stay away. And just as Charlotte is beginning to settle into her life, she learns someone wants her gone for good and will do so…by any means necessary.
When Charlotte escapes one marriage only to find herself on the cusp of another, will she ever be free?

Queen of Emeralds
I really enjoyed this romantic adventure. The main characters were very likable. There were sword fighting Scottish warriors in Kilts and I enjoyed hearing about life in the Castle. There were evil villains and a near death but a very good HEA in the end. I don’t like the sexual scenes but it was not as frequent or salacious as other books.
WOW!!!
What an absolutely amazing book! I wish there were more stars to give, because five just isn’t enough! This book literally has everything, especially romance. You will not be disappointed!
