Karen Ranney starts a new series with this first
installment of IN YOUR WILDEST SCOTTISH DREAMS.
Glynis MacIain has known the man she has wanted to marry
since she was a little girl. Lennox Cameron holds her
heart in his hands- tall, strong with broad shoulders and
black hair, his smile steals her breath away. Glynis has
held her affection in for as long as she can, and one
night she decides to show Lennox her true feelings with a
kiss. But when Lennox fails to return her feelings Glynis
is humiliated and flees to London to marry a man who hold
no where near the same affection as Lennox.
Seven years later, Glynis is returning to her home of
Glasgow, but she is far from the naive girl she was when
she left. She is now a widow- having been married to a
diplomat, Glynis is used to the world of politics where a
mask is always required. Things have changed, her family
and its business are in trouble and Glynis doesn't know
how to help. She also as to confront the man who as
always held her heart. Glynis is a professional at
masking herself since her marriage, but coming back home
to Glasgow- and Lennox- threatens that mask from the
moment they meet again.
Lennox Cameron is the master of shipbuilding, and with
the Civil War at its height, many are counting on his
genius to build the best and fastest ship available.
While Lennox is a master at ships, Glynis has always been
a mystery to him. The girl he knew is no longer a girl,
and he was surprised when she kissed him and then left
for seven years. Now Glynis is back, and she is not the
girl he knew- this new Glynis is a mystery to him. A
mystery he doesn't want as his business is facing it's
most important moment, but a mystery he can't help
wanting to solve. As Glynis and Lennox are thrown
together, can they solve the mystery of each other?
Karen Ranney always weaves an intriguing and captive
story. Karen's heroines are women who have been taken to
their lowest point, and have to find their way back in
their world, and find their place in it. Having such
strong heroines requires a hero who can handle her
strength. The interactions between Ranney's characters is
a treat and you always look forward to their exchanges
and the building of their relationship. Glynis and Lennox
show that true awkward tension of former sweethearts
meeting again- and the chemistry they can't resist as
they learn to renew their relationship as adults without
the blush of youth. This series is a delight, and I can't
wait for the next installment in the series.
