New York Times and USA Today Bestseller
On the cusp of her first London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was
shy, pretty, and talented with a drawing pencil, but hopelessly awkward
with gentlemen. She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London
marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young
ladies have done: she invented a sweetheart.
A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to
her, but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing
the imaginary Captain MacKenzie letter after letter . . . and by
pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle,
she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely.
Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings
shows up in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her
doorstep--handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He's
wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters . . . and ready to make
good on every promise Maddie never expected to keep.
