Five years pass, and one day an unexpected visitor crashes the castle walls. Charlotte mistakes him for her husband who she thinks has come home to claim his rightful place. Unbeknownst to her, the stranger is the Earl’s notorious cousin, Dixon MacKinnon. Dixon is a man who has traveled the world, but never before has he found someone as enchanting as Charlotte. He plays the ruse to his full benefit, but secrets have a way of being revealed and when the truth is brought to light, there will be hell to pay.

Karen Ranney is an author who knows how to spin the perfect historical novel. With each book I have the privilege of reading I grow more in love with her characters; each one of them holds a special place in my heart. Very highly recommended.
