The Bridegroom Wore Plaid (MacGregor Series)
Popular Regency author Burrowes moves into a new subgenre with this delightful Scottish Victorian romance. Ian MacGregor, a reluctant earl, must marry for money. He invites a wealthy English family to his castle so he can woo Genie, a young miss. But one of the girl’s penniless chaperones, cousin Augusta Merrick, catches his interest instead with her wit and appreciation of his situation and land. When someone tries to kill Augusta, Ian’s protective instincts kick in and force him to see which bride he truly wants. Intelligent Augusta will uncover a solution to Ian’s financial situation as well as her own in a satisfying ending for all concerned, except the villain. The main love story will engage readers with emotion and sensuality, as will the adventures of Ian’s siblings as they, too, find love. Burrowes has a talent for filling traditional-romance situations with depth and the unexpected, and her fans as well as Scottish-romance readers will greatly enjoy her latest. --Amy Alessio
