Adventures of a Scottish Heiress (Avon Historical Romance)

Lyssa Harrell is a Regency-era young woman expected to marry for duty. When her father arranges her betrothal to a dissolute but well-connected lord, she flees to Scotland instead—not to Gretna Green, but to her family's castle, where her mother once found happiness. Ian Campion, a ruggedly handsome man, is tasked with bringing her back. He has a price on his head and needs the reward her father offers. Finding Lyssa proves easy, but convincing her to return is difficult, and avoiding seduction seems impossible. As Lyssa embarks on the adventure of a lifetime, she must sleep outdoors and evade mysterious threats on her life. Though she knows society considers her ruined, she is willing to risk everything for the passion she discovers with Ian. When they return to civilization, they must face their greatest challenge: acknowledging their unexpected love.
