New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James returns to the Accidental Brides series with a romance about a forced marriage between a feisty heroine and a Scottish laird... neither of whom have plans to marry, let alone fall in love.

Desperate after her Season comes to a spectacularly disastrous end, the Honorable Miss Clara Vetry jumps into a carriage hired to take a housekeeper to Scotland.

The laird of Castle CaerLaven has no interest in a wife, especially a love match—but when Caelan sees his new housekeeper, he changes his mind. Marriage to a delectable bookworm strikes him as a perfect arrangement.

To his surprise, Clara refuses his proposal once…and again…yet again.

When her true identity is revealed, and they’re forced to marry, Caelan realizes he has a far more crucial challenge.

He finally has Clara’s hand—but how will he ever win her heart?

Eloisa James has a genius touch in creating wonderfully believable characters, both female and male, in plausible historical settings, well described. An Eloisa James novel always provides a positive cathartic experience.

Eloisa James takes the reader a beautifully written episode about two characters in the Scottish Highlands.

so glad to see new story from Sarah MacLean....but I was a bit disappointed... just didn't seem to measure up to the quality of the previous novels... it almost felt rushed... very short by comparison...
but THANK GOODNESS she brought back Mary Wells!! I bought the last two audio books and can NOT listen to them bc of the narrator....

Thank goodness for Mary Wells!
