Lachann MacMillan had his heart broken when his affianced, Fiona, weds Cullen Macauley a few days before their planned nuptials. He is determined to never risk his heart again.
His family lands were attacked by pirates and they lost some men, so Lachann is trying to find a way to protect them and he does. The Isle of Kilgorra is in the perfect place to protect his homeland, all he has to do is marry the laird’s daughter and take over. Rumor has it she’s very plain, but that works for him, he doesn’t want to ever fall in love again.
He arranges everything by mail then takes his men and sails to Kilgorra. To his surprise, Cullen Macauley is already there, and seems pretty cosy with the laird’s daughter. It seems Fiona has passed away rather unexpectedly. But when Lachann meets Anna, a servant in the house, they both can’t fight the chemistry.
Every year on Super Bowl Sunday I read a romance novel and this year I raced through this one. The game was pretty bad (the Seattle Seahawks completely dominated from their record setting 2 point safety one minute into the game) so it was easy to read. I enjoyed this and will look for more from this new-to-me author.
