  • "It is l909 and Temperance O'Neil is a woman ahead of her time. She's happy and devoted to her career helping single mothers on the streets of New York. But her new stepfather, Angus McCairn, does not approve. He makes her an unlikely offer: to go to Scotland, pose as housekeeper to his nephew James, and find him a wife, secretly. If she succeeds, he'll allow her back to New York. Temperance -- smart, passionate, as stubborn as her stepfather -- is determined at any cost to win her return passage. But she has taken on far more than she expected. James McCairn, Laird of Clan McCairn, is no cultured gentleman but a strapping, rough-mannered farmer, rude and brusque. There are pigeons roosting in the kitchen and chickens in the bedroom. Marriage is the last thing on his mind..."

  • "The year is 1909, and Temperance O'Neil is a woman ahead of her times. A women's rights activist devoted to helping single mothers on the streets of New York City, Temperance is, at 29, happily married to her work - which she funds with a substantial inheritance. Unfortunately, her new stepfather feels very differently on the subject and, due to laws that Temperance finds infuriatingly outdated, he controls all of her money. Angus McCairn insists she quit her career and, as a respectable unmarried daughter should, live in his house in Edinburgh. With no other choice, Temperence heads for Scotland with one mission - to drive Angus crazy. Soon, an exasperated Angus makes her a most unlikely offer: to pose as housekeeper to Angus' nephew, James, in a secret attempt to find him a wife. If - and only if - she succeds in matchmaking, she will be allowed to return to New York."@en
