Alex Hepburn possesses a hidden talent that aids him in his job as secret service agent for the queen... his psychic powers that were passed on to him before the death of his grandmother, a famous witch. When a letter reaches the hands of the secret service about a plot to kill the queen, they must take matters seriously. At the queen's reception, the secret service places a decoy in the queen's place. As they suspect, an attempt is made, but luckily misses the decoy. Alex sees the shooter and pursues her when she flees the scene.

Mahri Scot has betrayed a terrorist group called Demos by handing over information in order to save the queen. She has come to stop the man who is assigned to kill the queen. After doing so, she ditches her women's clothing for men's and runs away as quickly as possible. Mahri must stay on the run in order to keep Demos from catching her for turning traitor. Things become more complicated when Alex catches up with her. As they embark on a dangerous journey, Mahri is finding it harder and harder to resist Alex. Will Alex and Mahri be able to come through the fires unscathed?

The first book in THE SEERS OF GRAMPIAN series, THE RUNAWAY McBRIDE, was so intriguing I was reluctant to read the ending. I was so excited when I found out there would be a series about the Hepburn brothers and patiently awaited for more to come. Ms. Thornton really delivered with the second book in THE SEERS OF GRAMPIAN series, THE SCOT AND I. I found the characters just as relatable and the storyline just as captivating as in THE RUNAWAY McBRIDE, and if you can imagine, even better. THE SCOT AND I has it all... plot, passion, romance. There was never a dull moment. I could not put THE SCOT AND I down until I read the last word. I am a big fan of Ms. Thornton's writing and I look forward to reading her next masterpiece.
