If you had to make a choice, would it be loyalty or love?
Torn between loyalty to her family and refusal to marry a laird she despises, Rhona Davidson accepts a dangerous proposal from a man she knows only as Blackwood. Leaving behind a life of leisure, Charles Blackwood bravely serves his country with honor and the skill of a trained British agent. When his newest case returns him to the wild Highlands of Scotland, he is faced with a choice between killing a man and saving the only woman he has ever loved.
Charles and Rhona join their lives, only to discover that their choices will result in bloodshed, unless they can uncover a truth long buried, deep in the Highland soil. Author MK McClintock returns with swashbuckling heroes and courageous heroines in Blackwood Crossing, a story about buried secrets and second chances. If you enjoy clean historical romance with a touch of intrigue and adventure, then you'll love this "absolute thrill ride of a mystery."
Excerpt:
Rhona stiffened and drew back, not from fear, but surprise. She understood, and the independent corner of her mind desired to know what might happen if they were ever truly alone again. Two years ago, they’d managed to steal kisses under star-filled skies, or on rainy afternoons when her companion slipped away to give them a few minutes alone. Those kisses led to a night Rhona had carried in her thoughts and dreams ever since. Her family was near to falling apart, but in this moment, Rhona’s desire for one man began to shake her resolve.
“You’re right, Charles. I should not have made the suggestion.”
Rhona may have imagined the disappointment, or flash of regret in his green eyes, but she prayed not. They were both playing the noble one, sacrificing what they most wanted for the truth. Her mother had talked often of love and promised Rhona that one day when she was a woman, she would meet a man to cherish, a man who would make her believe in a forever love.

In some ways, Charles and Rhona are the strongest "people" I've ever known. They're fierce and uncompromising, and if they were to walk this earth, I would be honored to call them friends. Their adventures and romance still make my heart race when I think of all of the fun we had together. What makes their story a must-read? That is for the reader to find out.
