A Well Favored Gentleman

Where has she been? The rumors fly throughout the Scottish countryside about Lady Alanna, the beautiful and mysterious displaced mistress of Fionnaway Manor. And now she has emerged from hiding, only to find her beloved estate besieged by greedy relatives . . . and coveted by a darkly handsome Englishman. Ian Fairchild knows that Fionnaway belongs to him alone. For years, he yearned for the cherished place where he passed his childhood. He can secure his rights to the manor only through marriage with the enigmatic Alanna, but the exquisite hellion has warned him at knifepoint to leave her house. Now with skill and charm, Ian must penetrate the lady's defenses, and boldly lay claim to her body and spirit. But first, he must prove himself worthy, and he holds the power to enchant and delight, inflame and inspire . . . and to convince this lady her true home is in her lover's heart.
