Bram Lanark, Duke of Solway, is furious to learn his kinsmen have taken it upon themselves to choose a bride for him.
Not just choose her, but those fools have actually abducted her and carried her off to his home, Lanark Castle, on the rugged coast of Scotland, to set at his feet.
Only, they have taken the wrong girl.
Instead of the sweet young thing they sought to bring him, they’ve grabbed her hellion aunt, Lady Miranda Lawson, who is now tearing apart his parlor and striking fear in all his kinsmen as she hurls everything she can find at them.
Gad, she’s splendid. Beautiful, too. Now he must apologize to the smart-mouthed, fiery Miranda and ignore the desire that rages through him with their every encounter.
To make matters worse, his foolish kinsmen injured her during the abduction, so he is now honor bound to tend her and protect her while returning her safely to her London home.
But as they undertake the journey together, Bram is coming to realize that Miranda is the right bride for him. He’s fallen in love with her. Can she ever forgive his family’s reprehensible behavior?
Will she ever see him as more than a Scottish brute and accept to be his wife?
