Description: Ever since Mary Evensong's elderly aunt Mim got sick, Mary has masqueraded as the owner of the Evensong Agency, finding housemaids and husbands, and solving pesky problems, for the peerage. Someday she'd like to shake off her silvery wig and spectacles and be the young woman she truly is, but desperate clients are waiting for "Mrs. Evensong" at the office. Like a scandalous Scottish baron. Honor forbids Lord Alec Raeburn from explaining the suspicious circumstances surrounding his wife's death, but he knows who is responsible. He just needs to hire an actress to lure the scoundrel into a trap. After listening to Raeburn's story and seeing him in his kilt, Mary knows the perfect person for the role. Letting her red hair down, she heads off to the Scottish Highlands to pose as a seductress, but soon finds herself with more than her virtue at stake in a tug-of-war between two powerful men. She could wind up in danger or in the heart of the highlander.
