About this eBook

Louisa Robertson’s father is furious when he finds her acting on stage. Now, she’s being shipped off to America to marry some stranger her father thinks will bring out the “lady” in her. Luckily, Louisa’s maid agrees to switch places with her. Her maid will marry the American and get the wealthy lifestyle she’s always wanted, and Louisa can do whatever she damn well pleases...for the first time in her life.

Highlander Ian Sinclair needs an army commission, and the only way he can get one is to safely deliver the general’s daughter-from-hell to her intended in America. The only problem is that Louisa, the lady’s companion, keeps wearing breeches and disobeying his orders. It’ll be a miracle if the sparks flying between Ian and Louisa don’t set the bloody ship ablaze before they arrive in America.

But just when Louisa thinks her plan has succeeded—she can have her career and the Highlander, too—Ian discovers what she’s been up to. And now she’ll have to pay the consequences...

Ratings and reviews

Louisa Robertson’s father aka the Tartan Terror is furious when he finds her acting on stage. Now, she’s being shipped off to America to marry some stranger her father thinks will bring out the “lady” in her. Luckily, Louisa’s maid Mairi agrees to switch places with her! Her maid will marry the American and get the wealthy lifestyle she’s always wanted, and Louisa can do whatever she damn well pleases for the first time in her life. Highlander Ian Sinclair served under the Tartan Terror but left the army after Waterloo now he needs an army commission, and the only way he can get one is to safely deliver the general’s Daughter-from-Hell to her intended in America. This is the fourth book in the series but could very easily be read on its own. I found this book to be like a breath of fresh air & certainly had that feel good factor. Louisa what a woman, I loved her feistiness which hid her insecurities, her antics had me laughing out loud. Ian was so caring of everyone, I loved how he fell for Louisa at their first meeting. They were perfect for each other, the road to their HEA wasn’t smooth with secrets & of course Louisa changing places with Mairi but it was highly entertaining. A well written book with a well paced story & well defined characters. I think this is my favourite of the series so far My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

What is better than a strong Scot and a fiesty heroine that does not at first appear as she should? Not much and I can honestly say Jennifer Tretheway is a master of creating a story that will grab you on the first page and not let go until the end. But even then you will be left longing for the next fabulous tale! Louisa has finally pushed her father to the end of his tolerance when he finds her acting on stage dressed as a man. What could be wrong with that? You see her father is a General and known as the Tartan Terror. He is determined to get his daughter married and under control, so he enlists one of his former men to make sure she gets to America by ship to marry a man of his choice. Ian Sinclair is that man and he desperately wants his commission back so he can return to the army. Simple right? Just get the girl to America and come back for his reward. Of course things are never that easy and Louisa thinks up the plan for her maid to act as her and marry the man in America and she can go to New York and become an actress! The adventure begins and I will not spoil it for you but you need to read and find out what happens. Be assured you will smile with the humor and be intrigued by Louisa and Ian. I can only hope that the next book in this series comes out soon because I so loved this one!

About the author

Jennifer Trethewey is an actor-turned-writer who has moved her performances from the stage to the page. She would, if she could, live half of every year in Scotland. It’s the next best place to home. She never feels like a tourist in Scotland “because the people there always seem like they are expecting you, like you are a long-lost cousin come to visit.” Her love for Scotland has been translated into her first series of historical romance novels, The Highlanders of Balforss.

Trethewey’s primary experience in bringing the imaginary to life was working for one of the most successful women’s theater companies in the nation, where she was the co-founder and co-artistic director. Today, she continues to act but writes contemporary and historical fiction full-time. She lives in Milwaukee with her husband. Her other loves include dogs, movies, music, good wine, and good friends.
