In order to escape an unwelcome betrothal, Amalie Ellin, the only daughter of the 6th Duke of Ellincourt, leaps at the opportunity to disguise herself as the new governess to Clan MacKennah. For Amalie, pretending to be someone else will be like the games she once played with her brother to pass the time. With freedom at her fingertips but fate at her doorstep, she trips while exiting a carriage and happens to land in the arms of Thayne MacGowan. Dumbfounded by her reaction to the handsome Highlander, she manages to land herself in a most precarious situation that could mean life or death if truths are revealed.
Thayne MacGowan has spent most of his life diligently attending to clan matters and cleaning up the mistakes of a brother that has no business being laird. When his strong sense of honor and duty calls on him to help rescue a former love from a tyrant husband, Thayne crosses paths with a beautiful young woman claiming to be the new governess for a neighboring clan. In an act of desperation, Thayne draws Amalie into a plan to hide his real identity from pursuers; setting off a chain of events that would soon find them married under Scottish law. The battle of wills and wit continue to the grounds of Castle MacGowan where the truth will become unraveled and a true love match revealed.
Readers who like Scottish historical romance will be thrilled with Jackie Ivie's, A PERFECT KNIGHT FOR LOVE. The images she paints of 1692 Scotland are captivating and make this book a fast and enjoyable read. The storyline is well penned and the passion between Thayne and Amalie leaps off the pages early in the book. I recommend picking up A PERFECT KNIGHT FOR LVOE and traveling through the Highlands with Jackie Ivie. It's a wonderful trip!
