Lyssa Harrell is English, the daughter of a wealthy, if self-made, man and the step-daughter of a duchess. Yet she has no intention of marrying the viscount her father's bought for her to improve the Harrell family standing among the ton, and bolts for Scotland to find a connection to her mother's family.

An Irish Catholic scrapper, Ian Campion is hired by Lyssa's father to bring the young woman back to London, but instead guides her toward her deceased mother's family.

Lyssa's drawn to Ian's earthy nature, but falls for the penniless barrister-turned-mercenary's honor. Yet Ian thinks himself anything but honorable, and hardly worthy -- he'll do anything for money to move his sisters and their children to a better life in America.

Cathy Maxwell writes historical romances that are entertaining, sensual and always satisfying.
