A Laird For Christmas
After her father and brother disappeared, Lady Jane Lennox is managing Bellhaven Castle. Nonetheless, her aunt has invited six suitors to compete for the right to her hand - and to protect Bellhaven's towers of cool pink-gray stone.
Among the six is Nicholas Kincaid, the one-time object of Jane's affection. Two years ago, her brother banished Nicholas. A mere “sir,” in want of title or land, Nicholas was not marriageable material. Now, Nicholas will compete in challenges of wit and skill, rather than heraldry. But against noble swordsmen, dancers, and charmers, can he possibly win back her heart?
MY REVIEW: "A Laird for Christmas" is an entertaining beginning for author Geri Russell's "Highland Bachelor" series. Set in Scotland in the late 1600's, this is the story of Lady Jane Lennox and the dilemma she faces when her father and brother fail to return from battle. With her father and his heir both presumed dead, Lady Jane can only inherit her familial castle and its lands if she makes a suitable marriage by Christmas Eve. Jane is not thinking about marriage, however, but has plans to raise an army of her own to search for her father and brother. Jane's Aunt Margaret, a recent widow, has concerns that Bellhaven Castle will not hold off the impending attacks of those who wish to seize the prized property for their own. Margaret advises Jane that she has sent invitations to six suitors to engage in a competition for Jane's hand in marriage. Jane sees this as an opportunity to gain enforcement for her plans to seek the whereabouts of her missing father and brother. The group chosen by Margaret includes one very special man, Sir Nicholas Kincaid, with whom Jane had once had a mutual attraction. Nicholas had been rejected as Jane's suitor two years ago by her brother, who had been a friend to Nicholas until that moment. Now, all their circumstances have changed, and Nicholas may have a chance to win the hand of the woman he desires. The competition is being played out on different levels--each man has his own reasons for accepting the challenge. Someone has a more urgent need, and they will use any means to obtain a victory, and soon the castle and its lady are plagued with dangerous incidents. Will Jane's quest to find her missing father and brother bring the answers she seeks? Will Nicholas once again win her heart and provide her with the love and care she desperately needs to hold onto her home and all she holds dear? Since only one man can win the hand of Lady Jane Lennox, the remaining Highland bachelors must seek their own lady fair in upcoming entries in this engaging historical romance series from author Geri Russell.
