Set against a backdrop of the wild Scottish highlands, THE LADY AND THE LAIRD is a story of secrets, honor, trust, romance, passion and old enmities.
An Indecent Proposal

Lady Lucy MacMorlan may have forsworn men and marriage, but that doesn’t mean she won’t agree to profit from writing love letters for her brother’s friends - letters that become increasingly racy as her fame grows. That is, until she inadvertently ruins the betrothal of a notorious laird….

Robert, the dashing Marquis of Methven, is onto Lucy’s secret. And he certainly doesn’t intend to let the lovely Lady Lucy have the last word, especially when her letters suggest she is considerably more experienced than he realized.

But Lucy’s knowledge is not based on past seductions. If she continues to write letters, she’ll need to conduct some firsthand research. Robert has secrets of his own, but he is all too willing to aid a lady in need, especially when he desperately needs a bride….
There is an interesting cast of secondary characters:

–Lady Mairi MacLeod– Lucy’s beautiful, widowed sister… an extrovert and a flirt
–Lady Christina MacMorlan – the oldest sister…firmly on the shelf…companion to their -father, housekeeper and hostess

–Jack Rutherford – Robert’s cousin…a ruthless self-made man…an accomplished rake
–Wilfred, Earl of Cardross – resembles an over-stuffed turkey…cunning…greedy…all-out-villain
