About this ebook

The many wondrous gifts of Johanna Lindsey -- her fiery and endearing characters, her enthralling stories, her ingenious blending of Passion, wit, and emotion -- are all on glorious display in this unforgettable tale about an unwanted title and an unexpected love.

Has anyone in London ever taken part in the coming-out season with less enthusiasm than Sabrina? Luckily, the most sought-after lady in the city has agreed to usher this young, lovely country girl through the perils and pitfalls of her all-important first season.

Dashing highlander Duncan Mac Tavish is even less keen to be in London. Having recently learned he is the sole heirof an English marquis, Duncan is now required to assume his grandfather's title and estates -- and to marry Sabrina's ravishing, viper-tongued guide, who has been heard to make scathing statements in public about her "Scottish barbarian" groom-to-be.

His unwanted betrothal, however, has brought Duncan into close proximity with the enchanting Sabrina -- a kindred spirit whose wit delights him ... and whose essence is the exquisite stuff of dreams. But duty, station, and a secret that dwells in the lady's past forbid Sabrina's and Duncan's desired union -- unless true love can somehow miraculously find a way.

Ratings and reviews

Lindsey’s definitely done it again. She had me hooked from beginning to end with this one. I found the storyline to be intriguing and unforgettable. I also appreciate the fact that she places her stories completely in the time period at hand. She makes them enjoyable and accessible to modern readers without taking liberties with the history and conventions of the time. The narrator for the audio version was brilliant. She could make even the worst book enjoyable. Paired with this entertaining story it became something unforgettable. Above all else, this story was just plain fun. I laughed out loud multiple times. Lindsey even brought tears to my eyes a time or two. I enjoyed these characters from the get-go. I also felt a real connection with the main characters. They were vivid, fun loving individuals who will capture your heart, all the while making you question their rationale at times. They were the perfect mix of fun and serious, real & dream worthy. This couple was also the perfect pair, complementing and contrasting each other in turns. This story found them surrounded by a number of entertaining individuals who definitely added a great deal to the story the

It was very intertaining, I could not put it down. I got a few laughs and sighs and tears. Really enjoy her books.

None of her books disappoint. This one was awesome. Had me laughing.
