1906
After a summer of successful pirate-treasure hunting, Lady Emily Scofield and her friends must hide the unprecedented discoveries they’ve made, thanks to the betrayal of her own family. Horrified by her brother, who will stop at nothing to prove himself to their greedy father, Emily is forced to take a stand against her family–even if it means being cut off entirely.
Bram Sinclair, Earl of Telford, is fascinated with tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table–an interest he’s kept mostly hidden for the last decade. But when a diary is unearthed on the islands that could lead to a secret artifact, Bram is the only one able to piece the legends together.
As Bram and Emily seek out the whereabouts of the hidden artifact, they must dodge her family and a team of archaeologists. In a race against time, it is up to them to decide what makes a hero worthy of legend. Is it fighting valiantly to claim the treasure . . . or sacrificing everything in the name of selfless love?

Summary
Worthy of Legend by Roseanna M White is the third book in the Secrets of the Iles series. This is Lady Emily and Bram’s story. It can be read as a standalone but I would highly recommend reading the other books. Especially book 2, I LOVE Sheridan from book 2. He is one of my all time book boyfriends 🙂 I was thrilled he played a part in this story too.
Lady Emily does not appear strong at first but you see her come into her own. She grew up being terrorized by her brother and ignored by her father.
The continuing theme from the series is treasure hunting on the Isles. Bram takes lead in this book as he has the most knowledge about King Arthur and his knowledge helps in this hunt. He seems to see Emily and her emotions when others don't. It was fun to watch their relationship develop from friends to more.
I love how the author makes the lead characters so human. There is a great balance of spiritual themes, treasure hunting adventure and humor.
