After two decades of estrangement, photojournalist
Iona Campbell decides enough is enough.
She plans to come to Scotland to see her father. Instead Iona arrives in time to bury her
dad.
Filled with guilt, realizing her perceptions
totally wrong and obsessing over knowing who her late father was; Iona
researches his life starting with his position as the Dreagan Industries estate
caretaker. Her quest leads to her to Dragon
King Laith, who had given up on ever meeting a beloved
mate until now. As they fall in love,
Laith must decide whether he can trust the outsider with secrets her father
took to the grave. Additionally Iona’s
presence has an unknown adversary stalking her with her beloved Dragon King
risking his life to protect her.
The latest Dark Kings Scottish romantic fantasy (see
Darkest Flame, Burning Desire and Fire Rising) is an excellent entry as fans
learn more about the centuries-long war while wondering if a rogue Dreagan or a
Dark Fae targets the shocked heroine.
Laith is a magnificent male lead as he mentally debates the question
whether to reveal or not to reveal while accepting that trust is the key
foundation to building a permanent relationship. Iona starts off as the stunned deer in the
headlights, but adapts to what she learns about her late father and his friends
while falling in love and at the same time not so simply trying to stay alive.
