The second historical romance novel in Julia London's 3- part Scandalous series, set in the ever-popular Scottish Highlands.
Jack Haines, The Earl of Lambourne, has been accused of adultery with the Princess of Wales and has fled to his native Scotland until the scandal subsides. The Prince of Wales has sent men after Jack, with instructions to bring him back to London to face charges. If he is found guilty of adultery with the princess, he could hang.
In a remote corner of the Highlands, Jack is apprehended by a highland laird who offers him a deal. If Jack 'handfasts' his niece, he won't turn him over to the prince's men. The old Scottish custom, a marriage lasting only a year and a day, unless both partners agree to make it a lifelong vow, sounds preferable to Jack, and when he meets the lovely Lizzie Beal, his dilemma starts to seem positively enjoyable. Until the hellion vents her fury on him!
