Book excerpt: In nineteenth-century Scotland, a purchased bride yearns to discover her distant husband’s true heart . . . The daughter of an earl, Flora McCrieff brought shame on her family once by turning down a duke. Now she discovers she must wed impossibly rich but lowborn Lachlan McNeill. He’s undeniably handsome, but a man of few words. Despite the attraction that burns between them, can she reach beyond his impeccable exterior to find the emotions he’s locked away for so long? His Convenient Highland Wedding is the first of four novels of the Lochmore Legacy—powerful romances that follow a Scottish castle through centuries of history. Praise for Janice Preston’s Lady Olivia and the Infamous Rake “Perfection! . . . A riveting, enthralling utterly romantic, love story that captures the reader’s attention from the first page.” —Chicks, Rogues and Scandals “I was completely charmed . . . It really is a story to lose yourself in!” —Rae Reads
