Book Overview

Meet the most respectable member of the Kendrick Clan in bestselling author Vanessa Kelly's intoxicating series--and the independent woman who has stolen his heart...

Miss Kathleen Calvert may be the daughter of an Irish aristocrat, but she has no intention of acting like one. All she desires is to return to her family's estate to raise horses and manage her father's magnificent gardens. But when a scandal threatens her reputation, her parents order her to a remote Scottish estate, hoping she will finally learn to behave like a proper lady. To make matters worse, her escort is a handsome Highlander who just happens to be the most boring man in all of Scotland...

After a youth of dangerous and wild escapades, Grant Kendrick surprised his family--and himself--by becoming a successful businessman and the most respectable Kendrick brother. But does that matter, when the beautiful and free-spirited Kathleen deems him a stodgy bore? Luckily, he gets the chance to prove her wrong when their carriage is ambushed by thieves. But it will take all his ingenuity to protect the beautiful lass who has stormed her way into his heart--and to convince her that a life with him will be a love-filled adventure...

Scandal, Highjack and Romance

Miss Kathleen Calvert spirit exuberance has gotten her banned from London by her stepmother. If she was being banned to their estate, Greystone, in the highlands of Scotland. To stay with her cousin Sabrina in the highlands. We met Sabrina in His English bride. Gillian Penley, Duchess of Leverton has gotten word of the impending scandal. Gillian has taken steps to squelch the rumors. Wanting to meet her cousin Victoria Kendrick, Gillian offers to escort Kathleen to Glasgow for a short visit before Kathleen has to continue further into the Highlands. When they leave the following morning, Kathleen is relieved to spend some time with Gillian and then to be able to spend time with her cousin Sabrina. That relief only lasts two days until they discover Jeannie, Kathleen’s sixteen-year-old step-sister hiding in the luggage compartment of coach. In Scotland Kathleen meets Grand Kendrick. Grant is running the family import business and trying to overcome his hellion past. Grant is all business the last thing he wants is to escorting Kathleen and her younger sister around town. When scandal breaks out in Glasgow Gillian and Victoria decides it's time for Kathleen and Jeannie to continue their journey north to Graeme and Sabrina's home. While traveling north their coach is hijack right outside the village of Graeme's estate. Grant deals with the attackers. Once at the estate Grant finds out his brother is dealing with a rash of burglaries and threats. I could definitely see attaction between Grant and Kathleen why each would be attracted to the other – even though neither of them saw it at the time. Both characters were strong, decisive, brave, and stubborn – and both were determined they didn’t need anyone else in their lives. Their instant attraction caused them both to shy away from the other.
