Although duty brought me to Scotland, I longed to return to London and my work as an architect. But 1 was suddenly abducted-not for ransom, but for marriage! I'd been chosen to wed The Maclnnes- sworn enemy of the King. I had no intentions o f wedding any woman, and certainly not an enemy o f the Crown. But Lady Jessalyn Maclnnes was breathtaking, and she fired my blood like no other had. Destroyed by war and poverty, her clan consisted only of women, children and old men, but she was devoted to its welfare, and sorely needed my help to rebuild. I had been tricked into marriage, but the thought of creating a new life with my bride soon became quite tempting... --Neil Claremont Earl of Derrowford
