Virginia Traylor, Countess of Barrett, is in dire
straights... Lawrence Traylor's death left his family in a
desperate situation. He'd spent his wife's fortune on
property that became entailed, passing to his cousin. If
Virginia could have an heir before the allotted time was
up, the title would remain in the family, but more
important they'd have the income from the farms belonging
to the estate. Only one problem: Lawrence had never wanted
to bed his wife. Who would play surrogate husband?
Enter Macrath Sinclair, the self–made Scottish
millionaire and the man with whom Virginia had fallen in
love before her father chose Lawrence as her husband.
Virginia travels to Scotland, becomes pregnant, and gives
birth to a boy – who is promptly stolen by Macrath
when he realizes he's become a father.
Virginia travels to Scotland in a desperate attempt to get
Macrath to see reason. He must relinquish his son. The
world sees the child as the 11th Earl of Barrett.
Another problem: Macrath isn't going to give up his son,
and he wasn't all that happy about letting Virginia go,
either.
Can they put asside their differences and make their new
family work?
