About this ebook

The final book in Patricia Potter’s enthralling Scottish Trilogy journeys from war-ravaged Scotland to the high seas to the diamond jungles of South America as a nobleman with a price on his head seeks revenge, only to lose his heart to his most despised enemy

Alex Leslie’s hatred for the British is a raging fire in his soul. Once he was a Scottish nobleman with everything to live for. Now he is Will Malfour, an outlaw pursued by the English king’s soldiers. With nothing but bitter memories of the Culloden massacre and his burning hunger for revenge, he roams the seas, taking from his enemies what they stole from him. But the ship he just seized holds an unexpected prize: a willful, captivating beauty who is the daughter of a British invader.
 
Rumored to carry the mark of the devil, Lady Jeanette Campbell is forced to leave Scotland to become the bride of a man she has never met. But en route to Barbados, her ship is fired on, and she is taken prisoner. Captain Will Malfour is as black-hearted as Satan himself, yet surprisingly gentle with two young stowaways. How the children got aboard is a mystery. So is the wild Scot turned privateer who awakens in her such irresistible desire. With the odds stacked against them—and their lives at risk—Jenna fights for the future and a love she never expected to find.

The Diamond King is the 3rd book in the Scottish Trilogy, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Patricia Potter

Julianna Morris happily reports that she and her own Mr. Right are working on a shoreline home in the Great Lakes area. Not only does Mr. Right get along with her cat, but he's introduced her to the chaotic joy of a multiple dog household. Of course, the cat still rules, but felines are loveable dictators...most of the time. Her feline sidekick is now over 20 pounds, leading some visitors to suspect she has a mountain lion living in the house. One of his cherished pastimes is pulling paperback books out of the bookshelf. He's quite comical standing on his hind legs, slipping and sliding on the books already on the ground, yet determined to clear the rest off of the shelf. In Julianna's opinion anyone who lives with a feline-or a husband-desperately needs a sense of humor. Luckily hers is quite intact and a little offbeat, so she laughs when those books come off the shelf, instead of worrying about having to pick them up again. Like a cat, Julianna is curious about everything. Her interests range from history, science and photography, to antiquing, traveling, walking, gardening and reading science fiction. She draws, paints, collects teapots and recipes, has taught classes in American patchwork and quilting, and tries to find time for everything else she wants to do. People often ask about her favorite movies and actors, and the answer changes constantly. But she's particularly fond of old movies, like The Wizard of Oz, The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, and The Major and the Minor. More recent movies she's enjoyed are Calendar Girls, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Luther. As for actors and actresses, she thinks Cary Grant was gorgeous, Jean Stapleton marvelously talented and that Sean Connery is sexy at any age. Julianna's love of writing was born out of a passion for reading-one of her most valued possessions as a child was her library card. The worlds opened by books were such magical places that it wasn't long before she wanted to create a few of her own. Her first Silhouette book was published in August 1995.
