A heiress in mourning for her mother’s death, Kimberly Richards continues to be abandoned by her lifelong fiancé. But Kimberly’s father, the lately widowed Earl of Amburough, is usually intention upon marrying her off as fast as possible – to make sure you the jealous lover he longs to wed. So the rather indelicate business of matchmaking starts. And Lachlan MacGregor, the dashing and recently impoverished Laird of Clan MacGregor, is deemed the worthy suitor. Kimberly, however, harbors a deep-seated dislike for Scots, gold-diggers, and the whole woeful situation in general. As a result, a tryst using the good looking, haughty Lachlan appears dubious at best. But strange turns and outrageous circumstances promise to lead the ill-matched pair to a wildly unforeseen destination – and to open up a resisting heart to the glories of real love.
