Description
From USA Today bestselling author Madeline Martin comes a thrilling Scottish Historical Romance featuring a female assassin on the hunt to find the men that slaughtered her family, perfect for fans of Monica McCarty and Margaret Mallory.
After years of training under the mysterious woman she knew only as My Lady, Sylvi is no closer to finding the man with half an ear that brought about the murder of everyone in her family. Now a skilled assassin guiding a network of spies of her own, she has every resource she could want. She just hasn’t found her mark.
On a new assignment, Sylvi’s blade misses its target, but for a change, she is grateful. Her subject, Ian, isn’t just uncommonly skilled and roguishly handsome―he may know exactly where her family’s murderers are.
Now unlikely allies, Sylvi will have to keep Ian close enough to get the information she needs. So close, that she fails to protect her own vulnerable heart. As she and Ian become lovers, she wonders: is a trustworthy ally? Or will he be her downfall?
“With an empowered heroine and tormented hero, a high degree of sensuality and a fast-moving plot, readers are sure to be satisfied from beginning to end.” ―RT Book Reviews on Highland Ruse

Loved this story!! And the series!! There was a lot of danger and vengeance with enough secrets to keep me interested. I had been waiting for Sylvi’s story so I could learn about her past. I was not disappointed. She was strong and passionate, and dedicated to revenge for her family’s deaths. Ian made a wonderful partner for her with his own passion and trust in Sylvi. Together they made a wonderful couple.
I received a copy of this story through Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.
