I can’t help but pick up a novel by Julia London when I’m in the mood for a lot of Scottish kilt and
gown mixing.
Jack Haines, Earl of Lambourne, is on the run from a false
accusation amongst the London nobility.
Lizzie Beale remains unwed and waiting for her knight in the
highlands.
When Lizzie’s uncle captures Jack, Jack thinks he’s done
for, and so does Lizzie. Her uncle
forces Jack and Lizzie into a hand-fasting for a year. In other words, a pretend marriage for her
uncles benefit. 
From this decree, a pot-pouri of trouble begins…Lizzie
challenges Jack’s “rights” as a husband, Mr. Gordon arrives to take Lizzie
away, and the most challenging situation is a secret.
The uncle has a reason for uniting his niece and a strange
man.
Lizzie and jack quarrel, butt heads, and argue as they try
to uncover her uncle’s devious endeavors.
Lizzie and Jack really get to know each other during this
long and arduous time. It’s tantalizing
to follow their relationship and to watch the blunders and accidental
camaraderie.
Happy reading,
Dawn
