Angus MacTaggert, Earl of Aldriss was here in London for one reason alone, that is to locate at rich Sassenach heiress to marry. His beloved Aldriss Estate that had been in his family since the English wife killer Henry VIII. This is when relative made a statement that Henry should be able to marry as many women as he desired until he got a the baby son. Of course he did not know the daughter he and headless Queen Anne Boleyn made would reign as Queen for 45 years!
Now his beloved Aldriss Park was now falling apart due to poor harvests, and his clan’s appetite for spirits, bad investments, and wagers. He acquired the title in 1783 he realized this castle was in bad shape and needed finances quickly. He felt the bloody Sassenachs have done enough damage over the years, so they could help him get his castle and finances in order. This was allowing him this one wee favor and privilege. He met the beautiful Francesca Orwell and married her only heir of the Viscount and Viscountess of Hornford. They were extremely wealthy and fell in love and were married. Except his new wife realized she hated Scotland and his wife’s solicitors made sure the money stayed in his wife’s hand which caused many huge fights between the Laird and his Sassenach bitch of a wife! Over the next 13 years she gave him three sons Coll, Aden and Niall. With each delivery of sons she became more unhappy and wanted to bring her sons back to England to educate them and live the English way of life. Angus naturally refused as his sons will live the same life he had lived.
After Francesca had her youngest a baby girl, she was determined no daughter of hers was going to be raised in this uncivilized country! She would never find he a proper husband if she allowed Angus to raise her in Scotland. Angus finally allowed her to take their daughter Eloise. That is, as long as she continued making payments on the estate. Of course he didn’t allow the boys to go, though Francesca had her own set of rules for the lads too. They all must marry and one of the wives must be chosen by their mother. Plus if their daughter married first all funds to the estate would stop!
Angus always thought he could change this since daughter Eloise was a bairn. His sons just felt their selfish mother abandoned them. Then the poison came, his daughter had just announced her engagement. Angus thought by now his sons would of found wives and this would mean no more financial care for his estate and people. This sent Angus to his deathbed and no time for him or his burial . He had to send his sons to London to find wives and quickly! Especially before their sister weds or they will be financially ruined!
Of course the sons were furious! A woman they don’t even remember could do this. They plan to out fox their mother and live their lives they way they always wanted. Unfortunately things don’t always work out the way you plan.
Soon their Sassenach mother picks a young woman whose parents want a title badly. She picks the woman for her eldest son the Viscount Coll or lose their home. The problem is brother Niall is immediately smitten with Amelia-Rose Baxter. Amelia’s family objects so strongly they plan on giving her someone with no money or title! Will the young couple retrieve their happily ever after or go their separate ways? Read and find out!
This is the first book in the new series that readers will absolutely love. It is has all the elements historical romance readers love from start to finish. Plus a phenomenal dialogue, breathtaking setting and magnificent setting. A book I highly recommend and look forward to the next novel in Suzanne Enoch’s delicious new series.
