Shona Thompson’s Highlanders of the Mackenzie Castle includes How to Woo a Highlander (2020) and How to Bewitch a Highlander (2021), both set in the Mackenzie Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
How to Woo a Highlander opens with a heroine who must win over a reluctant Highland lord within the walls of Mackenzie Castle. How to Bewitch a Highlander shifts to a new couple but keeps the castle as the setting, with a different kind of attraction at work. The “How to” framing gives the titles a lighter tone than some of Thompson’s other series.
The Mackenzie Castle duology is one of several Highland romance pairs Thompson has written. Like her Highlanders of Deception and Clan Craig books, this set features Scottish settings, clan politics, and romances built on misunderstanding and attraction. The castle itself ties the two books together as more than just a backdrop.
