Declan Sinclair is a Highlander who believes his
dreams never lie.
When he spots Caya at a public house, he knows instantly she
is
the woman in his dreams—his future wife. Though her brother had
promised
never to gamble again, he engages Declan in a card game
—and the prize is the
lovely Caya.
Caya Pendarvis has no time for childish things like dreams or fairy-
tales or
love. She’s the sacrificial lamb on her way to the far north
of Scotland to wed
a wealthy merchant in exchange for settling her
brother’s gambling debts.
Winning at cards is one of the many things Declan Sinclair does
Winning at cards is one of the many things Declan Sinclair does
well.
Unfortunately, the ability to court a woman—a talent he lacks
—is the only skill
he desperately needs to win Caya’s heart.
Oh my God what a wonderful
story! Which is a totally
amazing book. This story is extremely well written
thought
out period and extremely accurate.
This is Declan and Caya's
story. Now he has prophetic
dreams in his dreams about his future wife. It when
he sees
her he knows he must have her. Being extremely good at
Cards when her
brother approaches to play a game of
Napoleon he does not refuse. He is about
to let him win
when he does being speak on his sister as part of the prize.
So
when he wins she's better off with him than with her
brother. But they are both
in for a surprise when they reach
the lyrics house. And he advises Declan that
he cannot win a
girl in cards and expect her to marry him. My favorite part of
this book is when she makes Cornish pasties for Declan is
a thank you and she
tells the story of how they were used
down in the mines. And how the edges kept
the food clean
so that the miners didn't ingest any of the arsenic that was on
their hands. I've actually seen this story and know that is
historically
accurate. Not only do you get a wonderful
romance you get a history lesson as
well. But when they
finally get things right an evil person comes for Caya. And
now he has to rush to save her before it is too late.
Now before I ruin this for
you I will leave off here. I hope you
enjoy this book as much as I did. If you
do like this book,
please consider leaving a review. The Authors really like it
when you do; they value your opinions too.
