The Hostage of Glenorchy by Kristin Gleeson

Scotland 1556

After overhearing a plot to kill Mary Queen of Scots, Abby Gordon is sent from Paris to the Laird of Glenorchy's home at Kilchurn Castle for safety. Disguised as a boy, she becomes a lute player among the household musicians where she encounters the laird's hostage, the attractive Iain MacGregor, a pawn in the laird's struggle for power in Scotland's turbulent politics. But is Iain really a hostage to fortune or is he playing his own dangerous game? As Abby's feelings intensify for this Glenorchy hostage she is caught in the web of intrigue that permeates the household and is drawn deeper and deeper into danger.

With spice, wit and action packed plotting, Kristin Gleeson's Highland Ballad Series is as compelling as Diana Gabaldon's Outlander novels.

'A highland ballad brought to life - plays sweetly on the heart-strings.' Jean Gill, The Troubadours Quartet
