About the book

A Young Heiress in mourning for her mother's death, Lady Kimberly has been abandoned by her lifelong fiance. But Kinberly's father, The recently widowed Earl of Amburough, is intent upon marrying her off as quickly as possible- to please the jealous lover he longs to wed. So the rather indelicate business of matchmaking begins. And Lachlan MacGregor, The dashing and newly impoverished Laird of Clan MacGregor, is deemed the worthy suitor. Kimberly, however, habors a deep-seated dislike of gold-diggers, and the whole woeful state of affairs in general therefore, a tryst with the handsome, haughty Lacklan seem dubious at best. But strange turns and outrageous circumstances promise to lead the ill-matched pair to a wildly unexpected destination-and to open a resisting heart to the true glories of love.
