Sir William Scott doesn't always make the best decisions, and that's certainly true of the night he crept onto his neighbor's property, with the intent of stealing back his own cattle from his neighbor. The best-laid plans, as they say, go terribly awry, and Will finds himself facing his infuriated neighbor who has every right to hang him. But instead of finding himself twitching at the end of a rope, Will is offered another option. He can marry his neighbor's daughter, Margaret Murray, who's reputed to be a very ugly woman. But it would take a lot of ugly to compete with a hanging, so Will concedes.

Margaret is thrilled to leave her father's household and determined to make the most of her marriage. Unfortunately, it's the late 1300s and the conflicts between England and Scotland are intensifying. She'll find herself torn between her family and her husband, with no real winning answer available.

Amanda Scott's gift is in her ability to create people you want to know. No matter what the conflict or the storyline, you're always drawn to the people. BORDER WEDDING, the first novel in a new trilogy, is no exception. Another winner!
