Publisher's summary

Joan Comyn swore allegiance to Robert the Bruce the day she witnessed England's barbarous king torturing her famous mother, Scot patriot Bella MacDuff. Now the mysterious beauty slips into men's hearts like a specter and entices England's most illustrious barons to unwittingly divulge their secrets, then shares them with her king. Known only as the Ghost, even among her Highland Guard brethren, Joan has become the most wanted traitor in England.

The man determined to uncover her identity poses her biggest threat yet. Alex Seton once stood with Bruce but now fights for the enemy. Though Joan knows she must avoid the handsome warrior or risk discovery, his knightly chivalry touches a place in her long since buried. When his suspicions grow apparent, Joan realizes she must do everything in her power to stop Alex from revealing her mission and convince the powerful fighter to join forces with the Highland Guard once more. But as the ultimate battle in the great war approaches, will Alex choose love or honor?

Is this really the end?

I loved this series, but I kind of feel like this last book was rushed. The entire story feels like it moved too quickly through the characters. Not much development of their love story, in my opinion. Otherwise it's good!

The End!

Joan and Alex...this was an unexpected pairing for the series. I loved it and I loved their story. I thought that Joan was a wonderful character and that what she went through was remarkable. I am literally shocked that people made it through this time period. We love to romanticize it, but it was a tough life with a lot of horrible people and things being done to people. Women locked in cages, be-headings, people being drawn and quartered. I don't want to spoil anything, but I loved the epilogue, I loved hearing from the entire Highland Guard.

Great end to a fantastic series.

This was a great ending to a fantastic series. I have listened to several of Monica McCarty’s series and have enjoyed them all. Now, I really want to go back to Scotland.

Not my favorite of this series

It was cute, and sweet. But I felt the storyline, on the whole, was weak.
