Description
Jennifer Haymore’s seductive Highland Knights series begins with an electrifying novel of fierce loyalties and forbidden love.
The Warrior
On the bloody battlefield at Waterloo, Sergeant Duncan Scott, “The Unbreakable Scott,” has been injured at last. But when he wakes to the sight of Lady Grace Carrington’s bonny face, he’s certain his stab wound was the best thing that ever happened to him.
The Lady
Lady Grace thinks she’s pulled an injured soldier to safety, but in fact she’s put them both in grave danger. Because when his brilliant blue eyes meet hers, the passionate Scot kisses her in a way that leaves her breathless and trembling. As the obedient daughter of an earl, Grace shouldn’t be tempted by someone like him. But as a red-blooded woman, she longs for so much more.
Lady Grace sets Duncan’s soul aflame. But pursuing his guardian angel means facing the wrath of London society, not to mention his superiors in the British Army.
Aye, but he’d risk all that and more just to keep her in his arms.

Advance Praise
“In this intelligent and exciting new Scottish series, sensuality, passion, and mystery blend into a wonderfully entertaining tale.”—USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans
“Highland Heat has it all: suspense, intrigue, a hunky Scottish hero, and a spunky heroine who defies everything to be with the man she loves. Jennifer Haymore’s quick-witted writing style and engaging characters drew me in, and now I can’t wait for the rest of the series.”—Sharon Cullen, author of The Reluctant Duchess
“Readers will respect Grace’s strength when she is sorely tested, while Duncan’s warm, courageous heart will enrapture fans of Scottish rogues. In this first book in her Highland Knights series, Haymore teases readers into craving the next installment, though this work reads well as a stand-alone novel.”—Library Journal
“This story of class difference is the perfect mix of romance and drama. It kept me turning the pages straight through to the end.”—Ashlyn Macnamara, author of What a Lady Requires
“A breathtaking story of forbidden love between a sexy Highland warrior and an engaging English lady who risk scandal at every turn and face insurmountable intrigue, this is a book to savor!”—Pamela Labud, author of To Catch a Lady
“I honestly cannot say enough good things about this book. I can only suggest that you read this book. If you read any historical romance this year, make it Highland Knights.”—Night Owl Reviews
“I really enjoyed the book, because I liked the romance at its core.”—Red Hot Books
“Well written and well paced, this was a good novel, and the epilogue hooked me into wanting to read the next in the series.”—The Romance Factor
“If you are looking for a Regency romance that will pull at your heart strings and bring tears to your eyes, then you need look no further than Highland Heat.”—Romantic Historical Reviews
“This is my first read from author Jennifer Haymore, and I foresee much more from this author on my TBR shelf in the future.”—Bambi Unbridled

Katherine R, Reviewer
The Spinster and Mr. Scott is book one in Jennifer Haymore’s new regency period series, The Highland Knights.
Book one opens on the battelefield the day following the battle at Waterloo, where Lady Grace Carrington is searching for survivors and finds Sergeant Duncan Scott amongst the wounded. Although they are strongly attracted to each other over the coming days they both know that any relationship between them is doomed to failure due to their stations in life.
Soon, Duncan is rewarded for his service by being asked to become part of the newly formed Highland Knights, a group whose goal it will be to root out traitors to England and bring them to justice. With this turn of fortune, Duncan and Grace are brought into each other's company often, because one of the other members of the Highland Knights is Grace's brother in law.
Full of forbidden romance, intrigue, and danger, I found The Spinster and Mr. Scott hard to put down. I'm looking forward to reading more of this series, and this author, in the future.
Thanks to NetGalley and the author for an advanced copy of this book for review.
