Description
A Scottish lass determined to end her betrothal.
As an infant, Mayra Findlay’s hand was pledged in marriage. So closely has her virtue been guarded, she’s never been permitted a beau—has never even flirted with a man. However, after a chance encounter with a dashing rogue who sets her pulse and imagination cavorting, Mayra initiates a scheme that’s sure to force her affianced to call off their union.
The laird who must make her his at all cost.
Until Logan Rutherford, Laird of Lockelieth Keep, inherited a near bankrupt estate, he had no intention of wedding the lass he was betrothed to as a wee lad. Now he needs Mayra’s remaining dowry to save his beloved Lockelieth. However, before they exchange vows, he’s determined to know just what type of woman he’s reluctantly taking to wife. So he assumes his cousin’s identity; a decision that soon has him snared in a tangled web of deceit.
Caution: This historical romance contains one rakish, fiery-haired Scot accustomed to getting his own way, a lass who’s fed-up with men dictating her life, and a stubborn gelding with a superior attitude.
I did not want to stop listening to this story. Mayra is a wonderful character. I found her honesty refreshing throughout the story as well as her need to help others. She grew up knowing she did not have a choice in a husband, but she did her best to change that. Logan was sweet even as he was deceiving Mayra. My heart went out to both of them as they dealt with their situation, and the ending had tears in my eyes.
I was given this audiobook as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.
