Years ago, Christina Blackburn posed for a scandalous painting that rocked the Victorian art world--and nearly ruined her life. Now a proper antiquarian for the National Museum, Christina hides her smoldering beauty behind an icy façade and prim spectacles. When the museum sends Christina to examine an ancient Highland treasure, she comes face-to-face with the same notorious painting--and its dangerously handsome owner.Sir Aedan MacBride knows that a local legend of a sleeping maiden says the estate’s heir must never fall in love, which suits him fine--until he meets Christina Blackburn. Convinced that the painting's beautiful model is the key to saving his threatened lands, he is desperate to discover what she knows about the old legend--yet he never expects love to interfere.REVIEWS:“Unsurpassed… Susan King is one of the best!” ~Cathy Maxwell“Susan King makes a delicious leap to the 19th century… never has Scotland been more magical or more romantic!” ~Mary Jo PutneyTHE SCOTTISH LAIRDS, in series order Taming the HeiressWaking the PrincessKissing the CountessTHE CELTIC NIGHTS, in series order The Stone MaidenThe Swan MaidenThe Sword MaidenLaird of the WindTHE BORDER ROGUES, in series orderThe Raven's WishThe Raven's MoonThe Heather MoonOTHER TITLES by Susan KingThe Black Thorne's Rose
