Description by Author:
Returning from abroad, Kate finds her dream
job at an upmarket Scottish castle hotel. She silences her inner voice of doubt
regarding the owner of the hotel, the Earl of Ullandale. Kate has learned not
to like or trust those who live lives of privilege and entitlement.
Prepared to concentrate solely on her work,
Kate’s plans are almost immediately thrown into turmoil when she meets Euan,
the good-looking factor of the estate, and finds herself deeply attracted to
him, almost against her will.
The charismatic Euan, tall and lean,
jean-clad with wind-swept and tousled hair, seems to be everywhere, offering
help and advice, and working all hours at any job which need doing. He sees
Kate and instantly knows without doubt that she is his future.
But mystery surrounds his relationship with
Liz, the daughter of the late Earl of Ullandale. And mystery surrounds the
whereabouts of the new Earl.
Will Kate finally accept Euan’s love, despite
the constant presence of Liz in his life, and will she change her opinion about
the mysterious Earl, in this entrancing, exciting and romantic novel, which
takes us through her first year at Ullandale? Start reading now to find the
answers!
