Highlander undone

Connie Brockway

While recovering at his uncles estate from wounds sustained in the Sudan, Jack Cameron a loyal Scottish captain in the British army is haunted by the words of a dying officer: one of Her Majestys Black Dragoons is aiding the slavers they were sent to suppress. But how will he find the traitor without sending the culprit to ground? He finds a way while listening to the voices beneath his open window particularly those of Addie Hoodless, a beautiful widow, and her brother, Ted, a famed artist commissioned to paint portraits of the Black Dragoons senior officers. Posing as an artist, Jack decides to infiltrate the close circle of friends at Teds studio to listen in on the unguarded conversations of the officers. But first, he must win Addies trust despite the emotional wounds of her past. Will Jack dupe the only woman he has ever loved or stand down from hunting the traitor? If his real identity is exposed, Addies life will be in terrible danger
