Description

A family of seven seductive Scottish brothers have come to America to find love in this historical romance by the New York Times–bestselling author. Arkansas Ozarks, 1860. A brutal attack on Emily Stanton’s family has left her for dead—until she is found in the woods by a handsome stranger with a thick brogue who vows to protect her. There’s only one As a woman with a noble English background, she has no business keeping company with a Scotsman of low birth. For Iain MacEnroy, Emily’s high-tone accent is a bitter reminder of the oppressive regime he left behind. The last thing he needs is to be burdened by the needs of a beautiful, blue-eyed Englishwoman. But taking care of elegant, educated Emily begins to transform Iain in ways he never imagined. Could it be that the deep divisions from the old world no longer apply in the new? And that Iain and Emily can share a passion as lush and wild as the Scottish highlands themselves?
