Laird of Ballanclaire
In Ivie’s Revolutionary War romance, Constant finds a man tarred and feathered  and nurses him back to health. Kameron is a soldier and a Scottish laird from a powerful family. Constant knows her father and possibly even her intended were involved in the attack on the soldier. She and Kameron fall in love, and he marries her in a hasty ceremony to save her reputation before a mob of men try to hang him. Moving ahead, Constant is alone with her twins when Kameron and his father’s men force her to annul the marriage so that Kameron can marry royalty. And they try to take her children. More tragedy awaits on board ship, yet Constant perseveres. Constant and Kameron are feisty and likable characters, and the historical details of colonial life are fascinating.  If the final solution and plot of the romance are convoluted, readers will still be satisfied with the ending. --Amy Alessio
