Lady Charlotte Whitaker
is devoted to her family, particularly her sister’s son, Freddie. Her
late father, the Marquess of Lockhead, died without a male heir. But on
his deathbed, her father requested that Freddie inherit the title.
Consequently, Lottie’s family has petitioned the Crown to recreate the
title with Freddie as the new heir. Lottie wants nothing more than to
honor her late father’s wishes. But she unwittingly reveals a wrinkle to
this plan.
Dr. Alexander Whitaker is dedicated to his work as a physician in Edinburgh, Scotland. He dislikes surprises—disruptions to his daily schedule, interferences with his ability to care for his patients, and events that might alter his future. He particularly abhors things that threaten to do all three. So when a solicitor calls with news that Alex might be heir to an English marquisate, Alex wants nothing to do with the claim. But the law is the law, and a man cannot revoke his lineage, can he?
Alex does not want to be the new marquess.
Lottie is determined to honor her late father’s wishes.
Their goals should be simple enough to accomplish, right?
But when two kindred souls crash into one another, the resulting conflagration may have consequences neither can anticipate. And Lottie and Alex soon face a difficult truth—sometimes, life makes us choose between two loves, and in order to have one, we must forsake the other.

My Review: 4 StarsI love the Brotherhood of the Tartan and I love the mystery that ties these men together. In this installment, the reader is treated to Alex's story. He is a Scottish doctor who finds himself inheriting a title and all that goes with it in England, which forces him to make some difficult decisions--to accept it or not.The story starts out with an absolutely hilarious scene. I wasn't quite sure how to take it at first, but then it was revealed and actually I laughed out loud. From there, the plot progresses in a manner that represents Alex very well--meticulous and cautious--yet it kept me turning the pages to discover the secrets held within.I loved to love some of the characters and loved to hate others. Charlotte was delightful and I was so mad at her sister for her antics in regards to Charlotte's future. Alex is a serious gentleman in every way and the way his life tangled and clashed with Charlotte's after an accident had me bracing for the impact of their attraction, especially since it was forbidden.Van writes in a way that smacks me right upside the heart and compels me to give her stories my full love and attention. I loved the twist this book took and can't wait for yet another addition to this series.Content: mild romance (kissing); mild-moderate language (nothing intense, just more than a few); very mild violence (accident, talk of a shipwreck)
