When two people have walked through fire, can love bring the healing and help they need?

Spurned by love, Lady Margaux Winslow, daughter of the Marquess of Ashbury, has no use for the other eligible gentlemen of London. Despite her beauty, her sharp tongue soon earns her a reputation as a dragon. Convincing her parents to let her retreat to their Scottish estate, a home for abandoned young women, Margaux feels she can do something meaningful with her life. At their wits' end, her parents believe a few months in seclusion will teach her to appreciate her privileged existence, and accept the next gentleman of worth who offers for her. Margaux has no plans to yield. But neither she nor her parents bargain for the proximity of the gorgeous, blue-eyed Scotsman on the neighboring estate.

Gavin Craig, content with his life as a country doctor, is unexpectedly thrust into the world of aristocratic society after the accidental deaths of his brother and nephews. With all the duties his new title entails, and his adoption of three orphans, Gavin desperately needs a wife. She should preferably a lady, trained since birth to manage a noble house, servants and family. His former disdain for a marriage of convenience has been rapidly overcome by the colossal task of learning to run a large Scottish barony. One lovely candidate is right next door...except that she's inexplicably determined to be a spinster....

Love can grow and develop through the “fires” of life.

I love a story with wonderful family values, characters that value the lives of others. Those that show everyone is offered redemption and change.

LOVE ELIZABETH JOHNS STORIES

Ms. John's writes a delightful mystery - love story. Tension between characters allows the mystery to build as the protagonist emerges. The story is playful, heartfelt, gentleness of characters, and not the big, burly Scotsmen we often read in some stories. Ms Johns' writes sweet, clean, loving romance, and this series is one of my favourites. But then again, so are her other series reads.
