Scotland, 1591
Lady Vivian Sinclair had been the ward of King James VI since parents death. She is a healer and clairvoyant, even though Rupert Campbell, her now step-son is the King’s witch hunter. The King doesn’t believe she’s a witch. He marries Vivian to Rupert’s elderly father Dugald, thinking it will save her life and possibly save his, unfortunately it only endangers it. As her dying husband of six months innocently deceives her, by revealing her clairvoyant visions, but insisting she is not a witch to his witch hunter son. Rupert threatens her that once his father is dead he will slaughter her being burned as a witch. After her husbands death she escapes the castle only to have another vision of a child being fatally wounded by a horse. As she rescues this child from a premature death, she is wounded in the child’s place.
Meanwhile when the King realized Dugald was dying he arranged another marriage for Vivian. This time it was to one of his elite warriors Reid Douglas, of one of the strongest and bravest families in the realm. People were already asking for Vivian’s blood due to Rupert's treachery. Reid who was out on an assignment by the King, so his twin brother Quinn was given the responsibility of bringing her to his brothers home. On top of so much he rescues Vivian from a deadly mob demanding she be burned a witch. Quinn helps heal her from her injuries from the horse and starts falling in love with her. Vivian feels the same plus her visions show they might act on these feelings. Quinn knows he must not betray his brother or King. Yet how can he let the woman he loves go. Vivian kept Quinn at arms length until she has a vision of Quinn and his men are cornered by Rupert. She now trusts Quinn with her big secret but will it be enough?
Again Gerri Russell pens another masterpiece from start to finish. It has all the elements romance readers love. Plus my favorite ingredient of factual history with an incredible fictional romance and iconic people in true Scottish history like King James VI and women being burned for witchcraft was very prominent during his reign as King. He even wrote a book on his reflections and how to deal with witchcraft in 1591 called Daemonologie. So bravo Ms. Russell this book is absolutely amazing. I am so happy you have returned to Scottish historical romance! As I have been reading your books since your Stones of Destiny and Brotherhood of the Scottish Templars series. They were both brilliant as well.
Seven Nights with a Scot is a riveting fast paced, action packed, nail-biting adventure, with sexual tension, treachery, passion and love. The specialty for many readers including myself is the weaving of true history with a fictional romance. The setting was breathtaking, dialogue was brilliant and the plotting was phenomenal. Plus characters that are both awe inspiring and unforgettable. A book many readers will want to read again and again, a definite for your keeper shelf. I can’t recommend this book enough as I can’t wait to read Romancing the Laird book #2 in this phenomenal series All the King's Men by Gerri Russell.
