A duke's daughter. A Highland warrior. And a love worth fighting for.
Lady Elizabeth, daughter of the Duke of Barrington, has done her best to secure an advantageous match, but a shy nature, combined with a stutter, hasn't helped her cause. After two Seasons, her father won’t wait any longer and promises her to a man she despises. There doesn’t seem to be anything Elizabeth can do beyond wish for a freedom she’ll never have---until a charming Highlander appears and makes all her dreams of a love match seem within her reach.
Alec Ramsay unexpectedly inherits an earldom and must leave his beloved Scottish Highlands to present himself in London and settle the estate affairs. After meeting his new neighbor, Lady Elizabeth, he feels a connection to her that he’s never felt with any other woman. Alec makes every effort to further their acquaintance, but soon finds out that Elizabeth could be swept out of his reach before they have a chance to explore the feelings between them. With everything at stake, can he risk all for a chance at love−−before it’s too late?
**Originally a novella in the Timeless Romance collection, but now a full-length novel with more twists, turns, and romance!

My Review: 5 StarsAs much as I love the Regency time period, I can't imagine being forced to make a match, especially at the whim of a father who doesn't take my feelings into consideration. Elizabeth is a sweet and darling girl, but she has a stutter, which makes her feel "less than" in her father's eyes. But Alec, a dashing Scot, sees her for her, and their electric connection ignited my attention and captivated me. This forbidden association penetrated itself smack dab into the center of my heart and I was all in.This book is full of loyalties, exploration, evaluation, and difficulties, but those elements only serve to add a richness to this already flavorful story. I loved the characters and enjoyed watching them become self-aware and release the hidden facets of their personalities. Even the villains were well done, and combined with a sweeping plot, this whole story was told in an engaging way that drew me right in and allowed me to be engulfed for a time. And who wouldn't enjoy a great escape in this day and age?Kudos, Ms. Bellon, for writing yet another amazing story!Content: mild romance; mild violence
