Description
A forbidden love, forced proximity, gothic Victorian romance
Alone with the laird
…and their forbidden passion!
For landscape gardener Jessica, accepting a post on a remote Scottish island means escape—from her broken dreams and tattered reputation. But meeting the brooding laird who hired her, disturbingly attractive Murdo, Jessica wonders if she’s made a dangerous miscalculation…
Murdo has only had the furious ghosts of his past for company, until Jessica’s sweetness and inner steel offers a way out of the darkness. As her employer, and with his heart destroyed, she is utterly forbidden. But with nowhere to hide from their simmering connection, will Murdo play by Society’s rules, or burn everything down?
From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past.

She is also co-author with Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, of two Sunday Times bestsellers, Her Heart for a Compass and A Most Intriguing Lady. Marguerite lives in Argyll on the west coast of Scotland. When not writing, she loves to read, cook, garden, drink martinis, and sew, though rarely at the same time.
