Janet Quinn (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 10, 2007

Eirica MacDougall's ailing father promises her in marriage to a line of suitors who want her farm and are willing to overlook "the incident" that ruined her reputation at sixteen. But Duncan MacKinnon, hired by Eirica's father to be a governess to her young sister, steals her heart. When her father dies, the suitors become more adamant and Duncan steps in to help Eirica run the farm. But someone desperately wants her inheritance and threatens her family. Eirica tries to convince Duncan to marry her to save her from the suitors. Duncan, however, having nothing to offer but his love, refuses. Nevertheless, he soon realizes that, before it's too late, he must do something to save Eirica's reputation...and perhaps even her life. But can he do so and still protect his heart?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"5 Roses!...I have read a few of Janet Quinn's books and never been disappointed. This one is her best yet. It has everything a reader could wish for--romance, humor, tension, and excellent characters and plotting. Erica and Duncan make a wonderful couple and their story as it builds will keep the reader hooked. This book is a great way to introduce the reader to Janet Quinn."--Mary, A Romance Review.com --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
