Publisher's summary

The Proposal

Driven to undo the evil wrought by her dead husband, Millicent Wentworth must find a way to save her estate and free the innocent people he enslaves. Her only hope is a marriage - in name only - to the notorious widower the Earl of Aytoun.

The Groom

Devastated by the tragic accident that killed his wife and left him gravely wounded, Lyon Pennington, fourth Earl of Aytoun, is tormented by the accusations that blame him for the catastrophe. Filled with despair, he lets his mother lure him into a marriage of convenience - for the sake of a good-hearted woman on the verge of financial ruin.

The Desire

Under Millicent's gentle gaze, Lyon begins to regain his strength and his wounded heart begins to heal. And soon Millicent discovers that beneath his unruly beard and grim demeanor, Lyon just may be the most handsome - and caring - man she's ever encountered. For the first time in her life, she realizes that she is alive - alive with a smoldering desire for the one man she'll love forever....

Contains mature themes.

Amazing!!!✨✨✨

Wonderful story of a kind, inspiring and strong women that helped heal broken souls! And a story of a man who thought he Lost it all, but found himself discovering his way back! These characters are complex and well developed. Their journey is well written and it is nice to see them go through the different phases of their lives. I love this book!!! ❤️It is a prefect balance of emotional connection, love, sex, real life problems and side characters that makes this book a treasure for re-listening and a special treat! Thank you May for this delightful and thoughtful story that lifted my heart!

Love, love, love the Penningtons!!!

This is the second time Im reading through the Scottish Dream Trilogy!
The writing, the engaging prose, the twists and turns of the storyline about the 3 Pennington brothers, the character development, and the historical background are all ingredients I found that blended so well in the creation of these narratives. Together with a talented narrator, Sienna Frances, the audiobooks were a real treat.
Highly recommend.

A pleasure to read

This book was really fantastic. I really like this author. The characters are well developed. The story was delightful and frankly I cannot wait until the next book is available to listen to. I have not read this authors work but listed to the Scottish Relic series just based on the reviews and have been hooked since.
Lyon and Millicent were the perfect imperfect couple with scars and baggage that added depth to their characters.
The narrator was good and did not detract from the story. She was no Rosalind Landor or Davina Porter (two of my favorite narrators for Highlander stories) but she did a good job and kept the story engaging.

2nd book to the series

I really enjoyed and loved the 1st. I wanted to continue the series. I totally forgot this book after I had it.
Continuing from the first book, this story is of Millicent and Lyon and their struggles of the past and finding love and healing hearts.
Slavery is very much of part story as of love, patience, healing and tolerance.
I truly enjoyed both books and will read the 3rd.
The narrator did a good job though “th” and “er” may need little more work for a Scottish accent. Reminds me of Indian accent.
I recommend this book!

EXCELLENT

EXCELLENT story...medium narration. Too bad this series was not narrated by a Rosalyn Landor or Kate Reading. Would have made it Soooo much better. However the narration was not totally bad. Love both main characters. Each was wounded but the story wasn't just inner thoughts and angst. May McGoldrick knows how to put a story together. I recommend.

6 STARS

What a wonderful story. McGoldrick weaves a complex story combining several themes. Slavery, physical and mental handicaps, obsession and desperation. I didn't want to put it down.
