Abandoned by a rogue
Betrothed to an earl she had never met, Charlotte Haversham arrived at
Balfurin, hoping to find love at the legendary Scottish castle. Instead
she found decaying towers and no husband among the ruins. So Charlotte
worked a miracle, transforming the rotting fortress into a prestigious
girls' school. And now, five years later, her life is filled with
purpose--until . . .
Seduced by a stranger
A man storms Charlotte's castle--and he is not the reprehensible Earl
of Marne, the one who stole her dowry and dignity, but rather the absent
lord's handsome, worldly cousin Dixon MacKinnon. Mesmerized by the fiery
Charlotte, Dixon is reluctant to correct her mistake. And though she's
determined not to play the fool again, Charlotte finds herself strangely
thrilled by the scoundrel's amorous attentions. But a dangerous intrigue
has drawn Dixon to Balfurin. And if his ruse is prematurely revealed, a
passionate, blossoming love affair could crumble into ruin.
