I think that this is a debut effort by the author and as such it really isn't a bad beginning. The h is an English noblewoman contracted to marry a Baron much, much older than her and she is against the match. She swaps places with her Scottish maid when the maid dies coming back to England from Norway. The maid had also been engaged to a Scottish highland warrior. The h meets him and then travels back to the Highlands with  him where they are going to make their lives with his clan. In the background we have the evil Baron chasing after his fiance because of her promised dowry in England. The H hates anything English and wants nothing to do with anyone or anything English.*** Possible Spoilers***What makes this book different is that the H is not a nobleman and will never be more than part of his clan. He is not in line for lairdship or anything and the had to adjust and change her life. The h never has intentions of trying to get her lands or dowry for herself and the H would certainly never have anything to do with it.At times the book was very brutal, which was probably very realistic given the times. I particularly disliked the use of the 'F' word throughout the book. It was used instead of 'making love' and the h used it as well. It jarred and I think it was unnecessary.All in all an interesting story, pretty steamy and a good first effort.
