   Scottish pride, persuasion, and passion―this is Highland romance at its breathtaking best. From USA Today bestselling author May McGoldrick comes Highland Crown, the first book in the Royal Highlander series. 
      Inverness, 1820 
   Perched on the North Sea with the Highlands at its back, this port town—by turns legendary and mythological—is a place where Highland rebels and English authorities clash in a mortal struggle for survival and dominance. Among the fray is a lovely young widow who possesses rare and special gifts.     WANTED: Isabella Murray Drummond 
  A rare beauty and trained physician, Isabella has inspired longing and mystery—and fury—in a great many men. Hunted by both the British government and Scottish rebels, she came to the Highlands in search of survival. But a dying ship's captain will steer her fate into even stormier waters. . . and her heart into flames.    
      FOUND: Cinaed Mackintosh 
   Cast from his home as a child, Cinaed is a fierce soul whose allegiance is only to himself. . .until Isabella comes along. Now that she's saved his life—and added more risk to her own—there is nothing Cinaed won't do to keep Isabella safe. Soon, the couple's only choice is to seek refuge at Dalmigavie Castle, the Mackintosh family seat, where the scandalous truth of Cinaed's past throws any chance of a bright future with Isabella into complete darkness. What will these two ill-fated lovers have to sacrifice to be together…for eternity?

  Burma oozes greed, corruption, and hope. When an Air Force 
   X-37B mini-space shuttle mysteriously crash lands along the  
  China-Burma border, the Department of Homeland Security tags  
  contractor Gar Randolph to get it back. India and China deploy  
  special-forces to do the same. All will co-exist for the next several  
  weeks. 
  Gar assembles a most unusual team to find the wreckage and carry 
   its Top Secret components back to Siam. Included is the last  
  person on earth the US Government would want on the mission,  
  a drug lord named Ar Phat. On a converging vector is a missionary  
  nutritionist with six Rohingya orphans.  
  Seemingly unrelated initiatives coalesce during a complex scenario  
  that include deception, pursuit, and classic slight-of-hand  
  misdirection. Characters are colorful, impassioned, and bold. The  
  storyline moves quickly as tensions build. Adventure flares at every  
  turn of the page.

  “[An] engrossing blend of romance and gothic mystery. The suspense is well done in a fine story line with plenty of unpredictable twists and turns.” —Midwest Book Review 
   
  Damaris Gordon shuddered at the thought of working for the cruel and bitter Master of Blacktower—but her father’s death left her no choice. Suddenly her fate—her life itself—was in the black silk-gloved hands of Gavin Hamilton, a man scarred and tortured by an unspoken past, whose mocking laughter echoes through his ancient Scottish estate. Damaris has heard the whispers that accuse Gavin Hamilton of his wife’s death and his young daughter’s crippling injury. But the pain and sadness barely hidden behind his blazing dark stare touch Damaris deeply—and a courageous heart is luring her to the estate’s topmost tower in search of his dangerous secrets.

  On the Fourth of July in 1867, the Union Pacific Railroad announced plans to expand their line into the remote mountains of Dakota Territory. They chose a site near Crow Creek Crossing to be their headquarters and named it Cheyenne. Almost immediately, new residents began to arrive: dreamers and schemers, drifters and grifters, good folks and bad. The owners of Union Pacific knew there'd be problems. Between settling disputes, laying down tracks, and keeping the peace, they'd need a troubleshooter. A reliable man of steely resolve. A concealed weapon . . . 
   
   
   
  His name is Derringer. Like the gun. 
   
   
   
  Arriving by cattle car with two of his beloved horses, Jesse Derringer is not your typical railroad employee. With the eyes of a scout, he looks for trouble before it becomes a problem for the construction crews—and sometimes starts trouble himself. Usually he handles hot-tempered troublemakers with a cool head and steady hand. But then there are problems that are more complicated and it's Derringer's job to defuse them—before they ignite a full-blown bloodbath. 
   
   
   
  Jesse Derringer is about to learn the true definition of trouble-shooting.
