Heather Gordon has enjoyed the privileges of nobility all of her life but now craves something more adventurous. Duncan Mackenzie has always lived his life in the Highlands and now has a daunting task – rescue Mary, Queen of Scots, from her imprisonment at Lochleven.

Duncan has one advantage – he looks like Colin Stewart who is privy to Lady Margaret’s court. Lady Margaret is Lochleven’s chatelaine so if Duncan can take Colin’s place, he can gain access to Queen Mary. The problem is that Duncan’s speech and conduct are of a rough nature.

Heather has been assigned the task of refining Duncan’s manner. Can she accomplish this in the three months before the rescue attempt? Can she and Duncan overlook their attraction to each other?

AS HIGH AS THE HEAVENS tells of a period in Scottish history when the English and Scottish were at war with each other. I found the book enlightening and well worth the purchase price of $13.99.
