Nearly a spinster at twenty, Lady Fortune Lindley is leaving Scotland to return to her birthplace at Maguire's Ford, a vast Ulster estate that she will inherit only if she marries an Irish Protestant. To that end, Fortune has agreed to consider a match with the Protestant aristocrat William Devers, a man suited to her wealth and status.
But it is the rebellious and disinherited Catholic elder brother, Keiran Devers, who steals her heart, driving William to a black and murderous fury. While Fortune and Keiran's forbidden ecstasy explodes, jealousy and intolerance lead to an unthinkable tragedy - and a destiny that will test Fortune's will to survive in a struggle to claim a new land, a new legacy, and the only love she'll ever want.

The story begins with a shadowy character named "Charlie Baxter" who suffers from insomnia and lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He's a story-collector, and at the beginning of the novel he's collecting stories about love. These stories gradually take over, and the story-collector disappears, as he should.

Great read - I'm hoping that she writes another book. I've enjoyed all the books in this series.

Two superstar New York Times bestsellers, Stephanie Laurens and Christina Dodd, join forces with one exciting rising star, Elizabeth Boyle, to create this sexy anthology with an exciting new theme. In an innovative new twist for anthologies, each author is reintroducing a secondary character from a previous book to star in his own story!
From Publishers Weekly
Three historical romance veterans present novellas that give the spotlight to heroes who've appeared in previous books in supporting roles. In Laurens's gentle though disappointingly conflict-free Lost and Found, longtime friends are blindsided by love, but must reunite a boy with his aristocratic family before they can indulge their hearts. In The Matchmaker's Bargain, a whimsical tale that reels with delightful screwball scenes, Boyle binds her engaging heroine to a former rake-turned-recluse, who soon recognizes this sprightly girl has taught him to live again. The final entry, Dodd's The Third Suitor, a fast-paced adventure involving a hoyden heiress and a spy on vacation at the shore, delivers many thrilling twists and turns. While each story will satisfy the individual author's readers, Dodd's has the broadest reach and provides the most entertainment per page, doling out fun main characters, a sinister villain, sizzling love scenes and a marvelous ending that will make strong women cheer.
