Synopsis
She never intended to take a husband...
Scotland, 1817
The Duke of Manchester's sister, Lady Sarah Lacey, always abides by the rules of etiquette. Fate, however, has no such confines. On a journey to the Scottish Highlands, Lady Sarah is set upon by misfortune-leaving her without carriage or chaperone, and left to the mercy of a kind and handsome gentleman. Whom (in order to secure a room at an inn) she announces is her husband.
When she proclaims they're married in public, Professor Braeden McKinnon can't bring himself to correct the lovely Lady Sarah. After all, her reputation would be ruined. Nor can he tell her that her proclamation is not only legally binding in Scotland, but sharing a room is considered to be an act of consummation...
Now they are bound together until death do they part-even if Sarah has no intention of becoming any man's wife.

Another Marriage Mart Mayhem novel and just as good as all other I got to read. This is a story of Sybil's twin. Sarah is on her way to see her sister in Highlands when she meets Professor Braeden. He is far too young to be a Professor but soon she finds out the he happens to be a genius. In any case she needs his help as she finds herself stranded in treacherous roads of Highlands.

Neither of them are ready for this marriage but now there is no escape from it. They must learn to compromise if they want to have any kind of happiness in their lives. That might bot be easy though...
