Even the most ingenious masquerade cannot thwart love

Brewmaster Quinn Murray no sooner finishes reading the letter from his estranged uncle begging forgiveness for their falling out and informing Quinn that he is the sole heir to the earldom when the famed Marriage Maker approaches him. Sir Stirling James is interested in buying Quinn’s ale for his taverns. And, by-the-by, would Quinn help search for the last Flower of Scotland?

Quinn arrives at his uncle’s home and quickly realizes that his uncle’s enchanting housekeeper isn’t who she appears to be. It’s simply too fantastical to believe that she might be the Flower of Scotland Sir Stirling is searching for. The woman he swore Sir Stirling couldn’t match him with.

Roslyn Grant swears to her stepbrother that she wants nothing to do with the tavern left to her by her father. But Teryn cannot risk that she is lying. Roslyn flees in fear of her life and finds refuge as the housekeeper of an ailing earl. All is going well until the arrival of his too-handsome heir. Teryn is a danger to her life. Quinn Murray is a danger to her heart.
