A Courtship in the Highlands
(2026)(The second book in the Thistle and Rose series)
A novel by Kate Robbins
Love may demand the ultimate betrayal of loyalty.
Agnes Sinclair, daughter to the Earl of Caithness, has been sent to Stirling Castle to make her debut and become one of the queen’s ladies in waiting. Traveling with her uncle, John Sinclair, she scarce pays attention to his prattling on about how the king is hell bent on turning the country soft with his flowery poets and pretty parties. She’s far more interested in discovering all the delights the King’s Court has to offer. Upon her arrival, she is grateful for the respite from her uncle and ever more intrigued by the enigmatic Earl of Montrose.
William Graham, Earl of Montrose, hails from a long line of nobles aligned with the monarchy of Scotland to maintain its independence from England. Fully supportive of the king’s new approach, he offers to assist when the king informs him of a band of rebels rumored to make an attempt on the monarchs. Prepared for a confrontation with brawny Highlanders, he is shocked to discover, at the center is a seemingly innocent yet confident young woman the like he has never seen in King James’s court.
Agnes and William’s journey is wrought with passion, betrayal, and deceit requiring a giant leap of faith. Attempt it they shall, but the question remains, where will their loyalties fall?
