Book description
It was to be a great adventure for Melissa MacGregor - an escape from
the wilds of her Scottish home into the world of the London Season.
There she hopes to find a suitable husband who will not be intimidated
by her sixteen uncles, six of whom are called Ian. But before she
begins her pursuit of a new life, she encounters an intriguing
stranger on her grandfather's lands.
Lincoln Ross Burnett, the seventeenth Viscount Cambury, once called
Scotland his home, until as a boy of twelve he was sent away to London
after his father's death, the subject of a bitter family feud. Now, as
he roams the countryside of his youth, he still feels the bitterness
of his exile - until he meets Melissa, and is struck by her beauty and
liveliness. He pursues her to London, where even their shared passion
may not be powerful enough to overcome the devastating hatred of those
who have sworn his destruction...
