Everyone knows that red-haired women are nothing but trouble!
So when enchanting, flame-haired Fiona MacDougal rides into his castle courtyard announcing that she is willing to become his bride, Caradoc of Wales knows to be wary—even of such a beautiful Scottish lass bearing gifts. Any sensible marcher lord would think twice before striking a sudden bargain with a merchant’s daughter.
Fiona brings wagons laden with French wine, Italian cloth, and three thousand marks to clear his debts to the crown. In return, she asks only for his noble title to secure her own future.
Facing down royal collectors is one trial, but subduing a household hostile to a foreign bride proves quite another.
- Marriage of Convenience: Desperate to escape a deceitful Scottish suitor, Fiona strikes a practical betrothal with the quiet lord she admired as a girl.
- Medieval Romance: From the mist-shrouded Welsh hills to the riverside shearing pens, an honorable lord balances duty to his tenants with intense longing for his unexpected bride.
- Forced Proximity: Sharing a drafty chamber while his irreverent bailiff Dafydd and sharp-tongued sister Cordelia scrutinise every move, passion flares faster than either anticipated.
- Also by This Author: Castle of the Wolf, Bride for a Knight and A Marriage of Rogues.
