About the Author
Nikoo and Jim McGoldrick are storytellers with a checkered past.From the submarine shipyards of Electric Boat in Groton, Connecticut, and the clubs of Rodeo Drive, to the forges of Pennsylvania and the electronics manufacturers of Massachusetts, these two have spent their lives gathering material for their novels. Nikoo, a manufacturing engineer, and Jim, who has a Ph.D. in sixteenth-century British literature, wrote their first full-length novel, a historical romance named Thistle and the Rose, in 1994. Since then, Jim and Nikoo have written twenty-six novels and a work of nonfiction, and they are presently focusing their imaginations on producing romantic suspense thrillers with a decidedly technological slant.These prolific and popular authors have been the recipients of numerous awards for their work. They now reside in Litchfield County, Connecticut.www.JanCoffey.comwww.MayMcGoldrick.com

This is the third May McGoldrick book I've read this month and I'm really enjoying this author (or should I say these authors as they're a husband and wife team). I should really have read them in order. This is the first in the series and is about the aftermath of Flodden when King James 1V is dead and the throne of Scotland is in question.
This story tells of the romance that develops between Colin Campbell, son and heir to the Campbell dynasty and Lady Celia, a wealthy heiress, escaping from her English fiancée who kills many Scots to find her.
I enjoyed reading about the history of Scotland at this time but what's best about this book is how the romance develops between the main characters.
If you enjoy historical romances, you won't be disappointed!

Format:Paperback
DESPERATE DECEPTION
Celia Muir must escape from a burning castle into Scottish Highlands before English soilders capture her. With her loyal friends and servants, all united to protect the infant Kit from unknown enemies. For her clandestine mission to succeed she has to make Colin Campbell, the warrioir lord whose help she seeks, believe she is the seductive Lady Caithness.
IRRESISTIBLE DESIRE
Colin Campbell's head tells him this Caithness woman is trouble. yet his heart is telling him she is magnificent. Whatever Celi is hiding he needs to know, but he also wants to hold her and kiss her. And as a war with England scorches the heathered hills, Colin and Celia find reasons to bare their secrets, surrender to their desires, and head toward a destiny where Scotland's future-and their own-build on the strength of their passion and love...
This book was very well written and sucked you in from start to finish. Despite the deception that goes on in the book Colin and Celia are able to resolve their differences quickly. You can feel the love that they have for one another no matter what. The rest of the series is just as good! I defenitley give this book 5 stars
