Reader Review: I really enjoyed the second book in this series. The story was well done and flowed so well from the first. It can also be a great stand alone novel. Anna and Grif are superb and stay true to themselves right from the beginning and never change their strengths. I loved the way Ms London handles the plight of the beastie and readies us for the third book in the series. I highly recommend this book.
Griffin Lockhart holds the key to his family's fate. Since his brother Liam failed to reclaim the priceless heirloom that could save their ancestral Scottish estate, it's now up to Grif to find it -- among the lords and ladies of fashionable London society.
Disguised as a Scottish earl, Grif attends the most glittering balls, hunting for the woman who is rumored to possess his family's treasure. Along the way he catches the eye of Anna Addison, a highborn young woman whose sharp tongue and even sharper wits have limited her marital prospects but enable her to detect Grif's deception. Determined to find a husband this Season, Anna draws Grif into a scandalous bargain: She will deliver his precious heirloom -- and keep secret his true identity -- if Grif can teach her how to seduce a man and win his heart. Well aware of what a man wants from a woman, Grif reluctantly instructs her. Soon Anna is besieged by suitors and Grif's exasperation with the troublesome beauty turns into heated desire. With time running out, Grif commits a reckless act in order to claim not only his treasure, but the passionate woman he believes is his and his alone.

Highlander in Disguise
Chapter One
Talla Dileas, near Loch Chon, The Trossachs of the Scottish Highlands 1817They needed money. Banknotes or coin, it mattered not, just so long as there was plenty of it.
All seven Lockharts agreed that they had no choice but to return to England and attempt to find the ancient family treasure, a solid gold beastie with ruby eyes, to stave off certain ruin. They would not, however, dispatch Liam to fetch it.
That had been their first blunder - Liam had returned from London with a woman and a bonny young lass. But not the beastie.
No, this time, Liam's younger - and dandier - brother, Grif, would go.
Yet Aila, the lady of Lockhart, had reservations about a second attempt at retrieving the beastie. "'Tis certain disaster," she said as the family reviewed their latest scheme at the supper table. "We tempt fate, as we've no' the slightest notion where the beastie may be. We know nothing other than Lady Battenkirk took the blasted thing!"
"And gave it to Amelia," Ellie, Liam's bride, pleasantly reminded the lot of them.
Everyone paused to look at Ellie as she blithely continued her meal.
That was because Ellie had stolen the beastie from beneath Liam's nose, then sold the priceless ornamental statue for a paltry amount to a Londoner she'd encountered in a small shop of knickknacks and household wares in Cambridge. Now, the only thing they knew for certain was that the Londoner's name was Lady Battenkirk, and that Lady Battenkirk had said at the time of purchase that she intended to give the beastie to her friend Amelia. That was it

Reviewer: A reader from Singapore, SG
Grif Lockhart disguises as a rich peer in order to retrieve a family heirloom but was discovered by intelligent but socially-inapt Anna Addison. In order to keep his secret, Grif had to teach her how to seduce a man, and before long Grif falls head over heels for the lady. It was heart wrenching reading about Grif's struggle between his desire to stay with Anna and fear of being found out by his enermies. Anna was a loveable heroine except I did not understand how she could blackmail him to stay given his precarious situation, and not for love mind you, but a trivial excuse of not being ready to take on society. A wonderful read nonetheless! This is 2nd in the Lockhart series.
