MOONLIGHT ON MY MIND is written about 1841 England and
Scotland.
After Julianne Baxter realized she accused the wrong man
for killing his brother, Julianne sets out on a journey to
Scotland in hopes of finding, the new Earl of Haversham and
to hopefully set matters right. When her coach pulls into a
town in Scotland, it hits a dog in the road and out
comes Patrick to save the dog's life. Julianne has some sad
news to tell Patrick and he must come home now to save his
family and to come forward and let all know he did not
murder his brother. Patrick is still angry with this woman
who could and would have him hanged for a murder he did not
commit.
The more time Julianne and Patrick spend together, Julianne
feels in her heart of hearts that Patrick is not guilty and
Patrick finds himself falling head over heels in love with
his enemy? Or the love of his life?
I could not put MOONLIGHT ON MY MIND down. It has great
characters, romance, and is lusty good!!!
Patrick's friend comes up with an idea that will keep
Julianne from testifying against Patrick and that's
marriage. Of course Patrick does not tell this to Julianne
and they wed in Scotland, but there's so much more to this
story and I will not give away spoilers.
MOONLIGHT ON MY MIND is an excellent read
by Jennifer McQuiston and I look forward to reading more of
her great works. A recommended read!
To ruin a man's life once takes a regrettable mistake. To do
so twice takes a woman like Julianne Baxter.
Eleven months ago, Julianne's statement to the authorities
wrongly implicated Patrick, the new Earl of Haversham, in
his older brother's death. The chit is as much trouble as
her red hair suggests, and just as captivating. Now she has
impetuously tracked him to the wilds of Scotland, insisting
that he return home to face a murder charge and save his
family from ruin. A clandestine wedding may be the only way
to save her reputation—and his neck from the hangman's
noose.
Julianne has no objection to the match. More and more she's
convinced of Patrick's innocence, though when it comes to
igniting her passions, the man is all too guilty. And if
they can only clear his name, a marriage made in haste could
bring about the most extraordinary pleasure . . .
