Night of the Highland Dragon

by Isabel Cooper

Overview

"They say," said the girl, "that people disappear up there. And I heard that the lady doesna' ever grow any older."

"The lady?" William asked.

"Lady MacAlasdair. She lives in the castle, and she's been there years, but she stays young and beautiful forever."

In the Scottish Highlands, legend is as powerful as the sword—and nowhere is that more true than in the remote village of Loch Aranoch. Its mysterious ruler, Judith MacAlasdair, is fiercely protective of her land—and her secrets. If anyone were to find out what she really was, she and her entire clan would be hunted down as monsters.

William Arundell is on the trail of a killer. Special agent for an arcane branch of the English government, his latest assignment has led him to a remote Highland castle and the undeniably magnetic lady who rules there. Yet as lies begin to unravel and a dark threat gathers, William finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into the mystery of the Highlands…and the woman he can neither trust nor deny.

He prays she isn't the murderer; he never dreamed she was a dragon.

Cooper returns to top form in the third Highland Dragons paranormal Victorian romance (after The Highland Dragon’s Lady). Lady Judith MacAlasdair is of the Highland Dragon blood and charged with supervising the family castle and the local village, Loch Arach. Nobility has its perks, but she longs for her lost days as a “boy” in the Royal Navy. When William Arundell comes seeking answers to a murder in a nearby town, he seems ready to uncover all the hidden truths about Loch Arach, while keeping his own secret: he’s an agent for D Branch, charged with investigating crimes of a mystical nature. When he discovers Judith’s secret, his duty is to report her to the Crown. But when they work together, they form a formidable team ready to serve and protect the innocent Highland people. This spy thriller is replete with demons, adventure, and unexpected passion. Cooper has a flair for invoking both Victorian chivalry and comedy of manners; the pace is quick and the resolution satisfying. (June)
