Book 4

Eglantine de Crevy was the maiden who tried to seduce Burke de Montvieux after he was smitten with Alys of Kiltorren. Burke's description of the marvels of love inspires Eglantine to move to a remote Scottish estate, determined to cloak her past in shadows - and persuade men of honor, like Burke, to compete on a Bride Quest for her daughters' hands.

But Eglantine's plan for a Bride Quest does not take into account the formidable Duncan MacLaren. A man intent upon regaining his clan's traditional holding at any cost, Duncan has no intention of letting a foreign noblewoman claim the property he sees as his own, much less follow her bidding to win her daughters' favor. Yet, Duncan finds the mysterious Countess Eglantine more intriguing than any woman he has ever known. He vows to uncover her secrets, win his holding, and capture her heart in his own Bride Quest...regardless of the lady's opinion on the matter.
