Louisa Robertson’s father is furious when he finds her acting on stage. Now, she’s being shipped off to America to marry some stranger her father thinks will bring out the “lady” in her. Luckily, Louisa’s maid agrees to switch places with her! Her maid will marry the American and get the wealthy lifestyle she’s always wanted, and Louisa can do whatever she damn well pleases––for the first time in her life.

Highlander Ian Sinclair needs an army commission, and the only way he can get one is to safely deliver the general’s Daughter-from-Hell to her intended in America. Easy, right? It would be if the lady’s companion Louisa didn’t wear breeches and do everything the exact opposite of what he orders. It’ll be a miracle if the sparks flying between Ian and Louisa don’t set the bloody ship afire before they arrive in America.

But just when Louisa thinks her plan is going to give her the acting career she wants and a Highlander to boot...Ian discovers her secret. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Louisa Robertson desperately wants to be an actress.  The idea of crowd of people all admiring her,  loving her is what she wants. She's the daughter of a man who has usually put his service to the Army before his family.  Louisa has done many things and risked her reputation more than likely as just a cry for attention. 
Captain Ian Sinclair likes the sea,  but would much rather be back in the Army.  He is hoping he will be able to get a new commission.  Our hero has a little problem with obsessive compulsive disorder. Everything must be in place.  The maddening woman he must take as a passenger is going to play havoc with that. 
This is a very amusing story full of adventure and laughs.  You couldn't get a more mismatched couple . Secrets and deception will further complicate all our characters lives. 
This is part of a series , but easily read alone. 
I loved it.  Great fun.

 Declan Sinclair is a Highlander who believes his dreams never lie. When he spots Caya at a public house, he knows instantly she is the woman in his dreams—his future wife. Though her brother had promised never to gamble again, he engages Declan in a card game—and the prize is the lovely Caya. 

Caya Pendarvis has no time for childish things like dreams or fairy-tales or love. She’s the sacrificial lamb on her way to the far north of Scotland to wed a wealthy merchant in exchange for settling her brother’s gambling debts.

Winning at cards is one of the many things Declan Sinclair does well. Unfortunately, the ability to court a woman—a talent he lacks—is the only skill he desperately needs to win Caya’s heart.

 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Declan Sinclair has had a dream , and can't wait for it to come true.  When he finally sees the woman of his dreams he thinks everything has to work out the way he wants.  Nothing in life is ever that easy. 
Caya Pendarvis has agreed to marriage to a man she has never met just to save her brother from a debtors prison.  He has promised to stop drinking and gambling.  Unfortunately a leopard can't change his spots. 
This story is jam packed with adventure,  tears and laughter.  Our hero is a brave and organised man but so very innocent in his outlook.   Because he knows something should happen he thinks he doesn't need to do anything to make it so.  He gets very frustrated when others get in the way. 
Our heroine has been betrayed by her brother,  but still makes excuses for the boy he once was. 
This is part of a series,  but each book can be read on it's own.  I look forward to reading the next one which I think might be Magnus'  story. 
Great fun and great characters.
