Virtue and Valor

by Collette Cameron

Series: Highland Heather Romancing a Scot, #2

Genre: Historical Romance - Scottish Regency

Release Date: June 24, 2015

Bartholomew Yancy never expected to inherit an English earldom and had no intention of marrying. Now, the Earl of Ramsbury and last in his line, he’s obligated to resign his position as England’s War Secretary, find a wife, and produce an heir. Only one woman holds the least appeal: Isobel Ferguson, an exquisite Scotswoman. Brought to Scotland to mediate between feuding clans, he doggedly woos her.

Disillusioned with men pursuing her for her attractiveness, rather than her unusual intellect, Isobel has all but abandoned any hope of finding a husband in the Highlands. Not only does she believe Yancy no different than her other suitors, he’s a notorious rake. She’s been told he’s practically betrothed. Therefore, his interest in her cannot possibly be honorable, and so she shuns his attentions.

When Isobel is mistakenly abducted by a band of rogue Scots, Yancy risks his life to rescues her. To salvage her compromised reputation, her brother and father insist she marry him. Yancy readily agrees, but Isobel—knowing full well she’s fated for spinsterhood by refusing his offer— won’t be coerced into marriage.

Can love unite a reluctant earl and a disenchanted beauty?

★★★★★
This is the 2nd in the series but is easily read as a stand alone.
Isabel is exactly my type of  heroine. Intelligent, brave and strong. So when the men of her Clan and the pesky man her heart wants,(but is unavailable ) order her not to leave the castle without an armed guard , of course she defies them. She has always gone where she likes,  and they will not tell her why she shouldn't.  By the time she finds out why it's too late. She is in mortal danger.
The Earl of Ramsey (Yancy ) has travelled to Scotland to try and help stop a Clan war breaking out. He is visiting with an old friend ,who's sister would make a beautiful wife. Before he realises that there is a lot more to Isabel than a pretty face,  she has defied him and is in danger. When he thinks everything is finished,  he wakes up in a room full of angry Scots with a blade at his throat.
An exciting romp through regency Scotland.  With the men as usual underestimating the intelligence of a "helpless" female.  Our hero is determined to rescue his heroine,  and is so far outside his element.  All great fun.
