THE MAKING OF A LEGEND…
When Christian Bancroft, Viscount Berkeley, flees the stuffy ballrooms of London for his Scottish hunting lodge, the last thing he expects to find ensconced before his fire is an incredibly beautiful woman. But the plight of lovely young Sarah Highgate, who has run away from an unwanted betrothal, inspires an eminently practical exchange. He’ll safeguard her reputation with the ton while she advises him how to best attract a proper bride…
As the undisputed belle of the season, Sarah has enchanted plenty of suitors. Still, she isn’t interested in marriage, especially not to the pompous bore her father has chosen for her. But her hasty escape seems reckless now that she’s estranged from her family and has no one to count on besides Christian. Turning the lucklesslord into such a catch has another unplanned consequence for Sarah: Has he run away with her heart?

Christian Forester, Viscount Berkeley has struggled to reach his Scottish hunting cabin before the snow storm hits. Only to find it occupied. It looks like he will be helping another lady in distress.
Lady Sarah Highgate has runaway from home. Her parents are insisting on her marriage to a man she doesn't like. Sarah has always done as she is told, but now she may have ruined her good name forever. Our hero is a nice guy who makes friends with women. He wants a wife not more female friends, which seems to be all he finds. Our heroine found a little courage, but is now in a panic. Time to call for reinforcements.
This is part of a series that you can easily read alone, but characters from other books in the series appear. That might spoil them for you.
Our secondary characters are very good at coming up with schemes to solve problems.
A good fun read with plenty of adventure and some worries for our characters.
