My Wicked Highlander by Jen Holling


Scotland is in the middle of a nationwide witch-hunt. Unluckily for Isobel MacDonell, she happens to BE a witch. Blessed with the ability to see things that have happened or will happen, Isobel is in danger when she uses her gift to help people. So when Sir Philip Kilpatrick arrives in England to escort her back to Scotland to marry the man her father has chosen for her, she is then forced to travel back through a land that could prove deadly for her. But before she arrives back home to her family she also faces the danger of falling in love with her escort, who is haunted by his own past. Isobel is determined to help Philip find out what happened to his sister who disappeared when she was a child. He blames himself for losing her and he feels he can never go home to stay until he finds her.

This was a complex and fascinating tale of magic and love. Jen Holling is a new-to-me author, and I am interested to read about her other magical sisters. I love a good highlander story, and I love even more when there is a little magic and mayhem thrown in!
