Catriona

David Balfour survived the heather and the hunted moors of 'Kidnapped.' Now, in the autumn of 1752, he wears the clothes of a gentleman and carries a legal document proving his claim to the estate of Shaws. But respectability is harder to wear than a stolen horse. When Catriona Drummond appears on the streets of Edinburgh, wild-haired and fierce, she brings with her a request that threatens to unravel everything David has built: deliver a message to her father, James More, a Jacobite prisoner languishing in the Tower of London. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game through the streets of the capital and across the North Sea to the Netherlands, where David must navigate dangerous political waters, outwit spies, and guard a secret that could cost him his life. At its heart, 'Catriona' is a romance wrapped in a cloak-and-dagger adventure, where the greatest danger is not capture but the dangerous, consuming weight of love and loyalty in a world that has already tried once to destroy David Balfour.
