The Great Scottish Devil, Brodie Durwood comes home from war very seriously wounded. After he is physically healed he still is tormented with headaches and does not remember his Sister Maggie or any of his clan that he has known since childhood. Not having his memories makes him feel like a broken man, and he is so hard to deal with. He tries very hard to regain his memories and when he tries he gets severe headaches. While returning home after a visit to see his sister Maggie, he comes across a small woman with a tinkers wagon who's father had just died. Brodie felt very protective of Annabel Henderson, and told her she was going home with him, she was too young to be traveling through the country with a tinkers wagon by herself. Annabel was very strong willed and after a good spanking she is settled down enough to consent to go with him. Brodie and Annabel butt heads often, it does not take long before they love each other very much and Annabel is loved by the whole clan, and she loves everyone. Brodie being a man of his word he agreed to marry a English lady of the Kings choice, before he went to war. After his betrothed came to prepare to marry, he finds it very hard to even like the woman. She is very hard to deal with and she is constantly trying to make Brodie let Annabel leave with her tinkers wagon. Annabel loves Brodie so much she does not want to cause him any trouble. Trying to find Annabel a husband did not seem to work out like it should, he could find no one that he trusted to take care of her. He retrieved his first memory concerning Annabel, he remembered a family friend that had a daughter stolen from them when she was still an infant. He was sure Annabel was this stolen child he sent a message to this clan and he did not tell Annabel because he did not want her to get her hopes up if it turned out to be wrong. They fought very hard to avoid each other, they loved each other so much it was very hard. He fought Annabel leaving as long as he could. He had heard nothing from the message he sent and the constant battle between Annabel and his betrothed had landed both of them over his knee with spankings. It was very well written and the constant battle between the ladies and poor Brodie did not want her to leave. But as all wonderful romances the trials and errors they face it ends with a happy ending. I have read this book many times and love it every time I read it. It is one that anyone would enjoy.
