| New York City， 1909: A woman ahead of her time， Temperance O Neil is happily married to her work -- helping single mothers on the city streets -- which she funds with her inheritance. When her disapproving stepfather， Angus McCairn， cuts off her income， an infuriated Temperance has no choice but to do as he commands: live， as a proper unmarried lady， in the family s home in Edinburgh. She soon strikes up a bargain with the elder McCairn to win her passage home by agreeing to ?nd a wife for his nephew， James -- a task few would dare undertake.A brusque， strapping man， James McCairn has little use for the new "housekeeper" on his Highlands farm -- though the place could surely use a woman s touch. But as she attempts to match James with his ideal mate， Temperance makes a surprising discovery: behind his gruff exterior is a kind， intelligent， caring soul. And his perfect match may surprise Temperance most of all....Includes an excerpt from The Summerhouse， Jude Deveraux s splendid new novel! |
