How to jilt a rake in a kilt.

Lady Elizabeth Huntington is determined to be released from her betrothal. She's been engaged since the day she was born, and she's having none of it. Too many hurt feelings and too many years have passed. She'd like to choose her own destiny, one that doesn't include Alexander MacGregor.

Captain Alexander MacGregor, Laird of Inverdeem, is going to London to fetch his bride. He's put the notice in the paper, he has the license, and he's ready to post the banns. He thought he knew everything about Lizzie because of the letters they've exchanged throughout the years, but it turns out they don't know each other at all.

She doesn't wish to get married. He's going to have to insist.
