"An excellent late Victorian romantic suspense thriller"
In 1885 Her Majesty's Secret Service psychic agent Alex
Hepburn is part of a unit that successfully prevents an
assassination of Queen Victoria. However, though he and
his team achieved its goal, group messenger Mahri Scot
vanishes. Alex uses his extrasensory skills to follow
her, but each time he believes he has caught up to her, he
finds she remains missing while he keeps running into a
lad. Knowing he is missing something obvious, he finally
realizes the boy is Mahri in disguise. As they fall in
love, the military and the assassins chase after them with
only his extrasensory abilities keeping them alive. Both
know they must learn the identity of the leader of the
anti Victorian terrorists before they become victims. THE SCOT AND I is an excellent late Victorian romantic
suspense thriller with a small dose of fantasy elements
enhancing the fun tale. The story line is action-paced
from the onset and accelerates as Alex starts his search
for Mahri. With strong lead characters and solid support
players who anchor time and place, sub-genre fans will
enjoy their escapades as they fall in love ever since she
was a young male. Harriet Klausner

SummaryAn agent for Her Majesty's Secret Service, Alex Hepburn is a
reluctant psychic whose powers sometimes come into play
during his missions—such as preventing the attempt to
assassinate Queen Victoria at Balmoral Castle, by a
conspirator he's been hunting forever. But it is a
mysterious young woman who foils the plot, then slips away . . .
She is Mahri Scot, once a courier for the faction that Alex
has sworn to destroy. She can handle a gun or a knife as
well as any man and, disguised as a boy, she becomes
virtually invisible. She's never encountered a man she
couldn't outsmart, outrun, or outmaneuver—until now.
With Alex hot on her trail, she flees to the Scottish
countryside. There she discovers that sometimes surrender
can be the sweetest revenge—and the most dangerous.
