Highland Rum
is the sixth book in the series
Let The Wildflowers Bloom
- a tale spanning a quarter of the world with betrayal, greed, lost-and-found love, murder and deceit.
In Mexico, two thousand miles from Colorado, the Vandores (friends of Mac McClellan's) provide refuge for J.W., Grace and Victoria (a.k.a. Alexandra). Participating in "The Day of the Dead" ritual reveals secrets.
Passion runs deep, bringing Victoria to a bed of roses and pillow talk causes mayhem, summoning the Pinkertons to Mexico. The dead are useful for a diversion. Victoria and Grace steam to Cuba. Victoria's well-being is saved by a dear friend from home. Grace falls in love with Cuba and is presented with a business opportunity to be a partner in a brothel. Funds are a problem for the partners so Victoria decides to try her luck at the gaming tables to help Grace.
Victoria longs for stability while waiting for Mac. J.W. becomes more than a caring "chaperon." Alexandra desires to leave Cuba, but is it the right thing to do? Her plans of sailing to Bimini bring hope to reconnect with loved ones, but something painfully dark unfolds.
In Bimini, Alexandra is faced with the unexpected and truth is not what she always wants to hear. An unforeseen opportunity arises and could change everything. Is the adage
hope springs eternal,
true?
