Lady Minerva Templeton and her three siblings have been saddled with individualized tasks to complete in order to receive their inheritance from their grandfather and keep it out of the hands of a despicable ex family member. For her task, Minerva must journey to a small cottage in Scotland where her grandfather spent time as a younger man. Since she was kidnapped and held for ransom as a child, Minerva has avoided travel and new experiences at all costs so this task is extremely difficult for her. When she finally makes it to Scotland, her maid falls ill and they must seek shelter in a farmhouse in the middle of the Highlands so she can rest. Lachlan Sinclair is no farmer, but a wealthy landowner and self-made man, and he doesn't quite know what to make of the English lady now under his protection.
Minerva hasn't socialized much but she finds Lachlan extremely attractive and Lachlan notes the same about her. Lachlan admires her courage and offers to come with her as a sort of guide for the final and most treacherous leg of her journey. With her maid still ailing and her footman now ill too, her driver is left behind to tend the sick and Minerva decides to continue the trip with only Lachlan for company. Naturally things continue to heat up between them and romance ensues, even if it can only be temporary.
This was another quick and enjoyable read for this series. Minerva was my favorite sibling, naturally, since I identify so much with her tendency to lose herself in books. Now I'm ready for the next book and a happy ending for the mysterious and brooding Theo.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
