Alec McClellen, Lord Strathcona is a Scottish Baron with steely blue eyes and walls built around his heart. Beneath the stone facade he presents to society there is a softer side to him, one where humor, whimsy and poetry lurk- waiting to be given permission to run free. He is part of a secret political party fighting for independence for Scotland. Like all good heroes, he is highly protective and would prefer to keep the women in his life wrapped in thick wool and safely tucked away. He has things to learn.Carolina Sloan, Caro is the youngest of the Hellions of High Street. She is impetuous, inquisitive, stubborn, passionate, strong-willed, and courageous. Her father saw to it that she and her sisters had a broad education, one not considered usual for women of the ton. She is looking for an adventure of her own, since her sisters’s had theirs and were now enjoying married happiness.They have met before and she helped him then with a problem and now she is chipping away at his wall of defenses. They find each other vexing and intriguing at the same time. The threat to Caro and Isobel, Alec’s sister, runs through the story and keeps the tension rolling. The conclusion to the threat had me cheering out loud. This has been a great series and does not disappoint. The secondary budding love story is sweet and I am hoping might lead to a full story of its own. {{Smiling}}I received an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
