Duncan Mac Tavish is a pawn in machinations between his two scheming grandfathers; they need him to find an English wife and beget some heirs. Yet Duncan's not pleased with their choice of fiancés for him -- he'd rather find his own wife, while he spends time with his new friend, Lady Sabrina Lambert.

Sabrina knows she'll never make a match because of unseemly skeletons in the family clothespress, but she'll settle for friendship with Duncan. She just wishes her best girlfriend weren't his betrothed -- especially once she, Sabrina, and Duncan share a confusing mistake of an embrace.

Johanna Lindsey takes a not uncommon plot -- Highlander come to Town -- and creates an uncommonly engaging novel. It's sweet, sensual, and entertaining in classic Lindsey style.
