But then a London buyer is killed after purchasing a long-lost Scottish masterpiece from Seamus&’s gallery—and the painting vanishes. As suspicion clouds their new life, and their relationship, Sylvie&’s search for answers plunges her into an unsolved mystery dating back to Cromwellian Scotland through World War I and beyond. And as she moves closer to the truth, Sylvie is targeted by a murderer who&’s after a treasure within a treasure that could rewrite history . . . and her own future. Praise for Highland Peril&“History and locale come alive in this extremely entertaining novel, which is a standout as it features Scotland&’s ancient castles, chilly weather, and extraordinary culture. This is escapism at its best, as it is a compelling mystery that whisks readers away to a land as beautiful as it is rich with intrigue.&” —Kings River Life Magazine
