Never Marry a Highlander at Midwinter
By Margaret Ellington
Length3h 10m
About this audiobook
Three days before her wedding, Lady Honora Bellenden – sensible, organised, keeper of an immaculate account book – walks into a Highland snowstorm in ivory satin slippers. She is rescued by Keir Dalziel: a laird with a ruined glen, one bed, one enormous dog and not nearly enough firewood. Snowed in, unchaperoned and one letter away from ruin, Honora agrees to an old Highland custom. A handfasting – a marriage on trial for a year and a day, or, as far as she is concerned, until the roads clear. She draws up rules. He breaks them, one by one. And somewhere between the firewood and the first footing, the most sensible woman in Scotland starts to lose her head. But her rich bridegroom is waiting on the far side of the pass, and the figures in his papers do not add up. When Honora finds forged signatures where her father’s debts should be, the woman who always has a plan must decide what she is willing to risk – and for whom.
