The Lass Beguiled the Laird by Lisa Torquay

HE IS THE MAN SHE COULD NEVER HAVE LOOKED AT WITH MORE THAN A POLITE GLANCE…

Catriona McTavish longs for the Highlands where she lived until she was fourteen, before her English mother took her and her sister to London for the best education money could buy. After years away from her beloved country, she can take it no more. As an advertisement for a horse expert jumps onto her sight, she regards it as the ideal opportunity to visit her birthplace again and see the best horseflesh in the Highlands—all under a false name. She never imagined her future brother-in-law would take siege of her body and her mind, endangering her very soul, but her father has signed a marriage agreement between her sister and the commanding laird.

SHE IS THE WOMAN HE COULD ONLY KEEP IN HIS BED, NEVER IN HIS LIFE…
Fingal McKendrick has a problematic horse he needs to put on the mend. When he realises the horse expert he’d agreed to come and help his Arab stallion is a woman called Emily Paddington, he has an urge to send her packing; not only because she’s a woman, but also because she’s the most maddeningly confounding lass he has ever met. Beautiful, feisty, and utterly skilful with horses, she draws him in perilously. Despite the blistering craving she arouses in him, he must keep his distance, for he has agreed to marry another for a clan alliance.

WOULD THEY RISK A CLAN STRIFE TO GIVE LOVE A CHANCE?
