I am delighted to welcome a dear friend and hugely talented author Sky Purington to the Flight Deck today. I am reading her wonderful new book 'Highland Persuasion.' I had fully intended to post my Review here today, but due to circumstances beyond my control ( a rift in the space-time continuum but we won't go into that) I promise I'll get this done and posted asap. In the meantime, here is the gorgeous cover and a tantalising excerpt:

Short Excerpt:
Despite
protocol, Alexander’s eyes slid from the king to the lass. While his senses
slightly registered that she wore a Broun plaid, they were far too consumed
with the rest of her to be rightfully infuriated.
Long and
thick, blue-black hair flowed around a figure so alluring it was sinful. When
she sauntered his way, Alexander stood straighter, reared up some might say,
almost as though he were a wild horse first meeting she who would master him.
He did
not like the feeling.
When she
stopped before him, Alexander reached for the sword at his side only to realize
it wasn’t there. Forced to meet her blazing sky blue eyes and exquisite face,
he said not the proper thing but, “You came to steal my soul.”
While
clearly she’d been poised to say something haughty her expression wavered—as if
as confused as him—but she quickly regained her composure. “I am Iosbail Broun,
she who is to be your wife.”
Despite
the fact his king watched and tradition said he bow, Alexander did not. Instead
he took her gloved hand and brought it to his lips where he made a point of
giving it a cherished kiss. His eyes stayed locked with hers. Soft, so that
it’d be barely heard, he said, “In name only will you ever be my wife.”
Not
fazed by his rudeness, she offered a small smile; thick black lashes lowered,
full pink lips curled slightly. With a whisper light word she said, “Sinclair.”
It was
if she tasted his name for the first time.
Alexander
wanted to catch the single word and hold it against his heart.
Mortified,
well aware the Devil was at work, he squeezed her hand a little too harshly.
Iosbail’s eyes rounded. He lowered his head but never removed his gaze from
hers.
‘Twas
all that needed to be said between them.
