Book 4 in the Dear Roz Series - The Laird of Bahscot


















Roz and Nathan met the Laird of Bahscot, Gordon Wilkinson, through Nathan's long time Scottish friend, Angus. Although now a music teacher, Angus had served his country in one of its elite fighting units and had seen combat in several special ops missions. The love of Angus' life is Daisy. An ex combat instructor and helicopter pilot, she attended one of Roz's 'manhunter' workshops. It was Nathan, however, that was responsible for introducing Daisy and Angus to each other.

Gordon's first wife had died in childbirth. Heartbreak was mixed with the joy of raising his only child, a daughter. When his daughter was fourteen, Gordon fell in love with and married a Colombian beauty. However, he had indicated to Roz and Nathan once before that all was not well in his marriage. His wife and the love of his life, Maria had been the daughter of a Colombian drug cartel boss until his death in a shootout with local authorities. She worshipped her father, often mistaking his ruthlessness for manliness. Gordon had courted and married the Colombian beauty a few months after they met. Her brother Eduardo was ecstatic that his sister would have the opportunity for a new life and happiness.

Being Colombian, Maria had a fiery temper and during an argument with her husband, she had called him weak. 
No bigger insult could be levelled at a Colombian male. It made little difference that Gordon was American. Shortly after, Maria returned to Colombia to visit her brother and other members of her family. An email from Eduardo to Gordon spelled trouble for their marriage.

A charismatic up and coming vicious cartel capo by the name of Manolito Oroja had designs on Maria. He was as ruthless as her father had been and she was fast falling under his spell. Eduardo had warned Gordon of this danger, but how exactly to deal with this situation when his wife believes him weak?

Gordon reached out to Roz and Nathan. Perhaps they could help put the spark back in his relationship with Maria. After all, they both ran workshops to help men and women find and keep the partners of their dreams. After listening to Gordon's marital plight, Nathan realized that a lover's workshop was not the answer in this case. Time was of the essence. That fact was made evident when a Colombian hit man was sent to erase Gordon from the land of the living so that Maria would be free to remarry.

Roz, Nathan, and Angus along with the help of Daisy, had to come up with a plan to thwart the plans of a killer cartel capo and at the same time prove to Maria that Gordon was not the weakling she thought him to be. No easy task given the time frame and the circumstances. Gordon was horrified at Nathan's proposal and even more horrified at Angus' suggestion. Gordon's biggest problem was that he had four true friends. Friends that would put their lives on the line for him if necessary. A price Gordon had no desire to pay but no way to stop.

Join the characters you have come to love as they demonstrate their brand of love and humor for and towards each other, and loyalty to any they call friend. This dangerous adventure highlights these traits through every chapter as they navigate their way through the Colombian terrain and into the heart of the drug cartel's fortress of operations. So much could jeopardize their lives as well as the mission, especially since Angus had been hunted once before in this same exact region whilst on a covert one-man military mission.

Love, humor, respect and true friendship. All of this wrapped up in a nail-biting story. Coming soon. Enjoy.
