Ewan Geddes had once sent Claire's girlish heart racing...But that was back when he was a servant and she the laird's awkward daughter. Now he'd returned, an upstart fortune hunter bent on her sister, and Claire Talbot swore to stop any heartbreak before it started—even if that meant tempting away a man who'd only grown decidedly more appealing.Claire Talbot had to be the most exasperating woman in England or Scotland, Ewan decided. And she stood between him and the bride he wanted! Or did she? For her grace and fire made him yearn that every day be an adventure...and every night a dream come true!From BooklistClaire is used to dealing with fortune hunters, but her beautiful half sister, Tessa, is not. When Claire hears that Tessa is considering breaking up with her fiance, Spencer, for a handsome American, she knows that she has to protect Tessa from the cad. But Tessa's new romantic interest is Ewan Geddes, a former servant at their Scottish estate who has recently returned from America. Still convinced that Ewan is only interested in Tessa's money, Claire decides to offer him a more tempting target: herself. The only problem is that the more Claire tries to lure Ewan away from Tessa, the less certain she is that she is doing this for her sister rather than for herself. A sensible heroine who considers herself too plain for any man to be interested in anything but her fortune engages in a wonderfully amusing battle of wits and wills with a charming hero determined to prove to her that there is more than one kind of beauty in Hale's sparklingly witty Victorian historical.
