He wasn’t expecting a title, or to fall in love.
Miranda, Lady Madeley, was married at eighteen to Sir Geoffrey Madeley, a man far older than her. He left her a young widow with three growing daughters who are all much keener on their horses than on meeting suitable gentlemen. Unfortunately, Sir Geoffrey neglected to provide for his family in his will, and his dutiful solicitor has discovered a distant cousin who is to inherit his title, the Windrush estate, and even the inheritance Miranda herself brought to the marriage. She’s left with just an old farmhouse.
Captain Harry Madeley, late of Wellington’s army and veteran of Waterloo, where he was an army doctor, has no idea there’s a title of any sort in his father’s family. He’s been badly wounded and is very much in recovery—in no condition to run a country estate. However, he decides to go and see what he’s so unexpectedly inherited. He learns Sir Geoffrey’s widow has vacated Windrush, a house far bigger than any he’s ever known.
Soon enough, he encounters the youngest of her strong-willed daughters and is invited back to the farmhouse, where he discovers Lady Madeley is anything but the woman he was expecting. Miranda, upon finding out the lost heir is not married, determines to engineer a match between him and her oldest. However, her daughters have other ideas.
And to make matters even more complicated, Miranda’s not-quite-sane neighbor launches himself into the fray: he’s been waiting to claim Miranda as his own. With a duel between him and Harry in the offing, everything begins to look dangerous in the extreme.

Magic brought her to the past. Love might make her stay.
Elise MacFinnan has never been one to play by the rules. A free-spirited witch with a love of adventure—and streaks of pink in her hair to prove it—she’s always chased the next thrill. But when the sea goddess Lir sends her hurtling back to fifteenth-century Scotland, Elise discovers that the most dangerous adventures are those of the heart.
Jamie Donald, Lord of the Isles, has fought his whole life to keep his people free. Now pirates ravage his shores, his allies question his strength, and betrayal brews in the dark waters surrounding his home. So when the goddess Lir offers him help, the last thing he expects is a sharp-tongued witch who refuses to follow his orders—or the fire she sparks in his guarded heart.
Thrown together by fate, Elise and Jamie must uncover who’s truly behind the raids threatening his lands. But as danger closes in and passion flares between them, the lines between duty and desire blur. To save the Isles, Jamie must learn to trust the woman who upends his world… and Elise must decide if love is worth breaking every rule she’s ever lived by.
