When Minerva was 8 years old, she was riding in a carriage with only her governess and she was kidnapped. The men held her in a dark room for 3 days and every day they threatened to kill her. Since that time, she has not traveled in a carriage unless it was absolutely necessary. She is afraid of strangers. In short, since that time, she has let life leave her behind.
Now she is an adult and she has been given a huge challenge. Her Grandfather has died. He loved Minerva very much. In order for her to inherit, she must travel to Scotland and collect an item in a cabin he knew when he was a child. Then she must bring that certain item back to London and prove to his attorney that she carried out her task.
On the way, Minerva’s maid becomes very ill. They stop at a farm house in order to get Mary a bed in which to rest, and to find out where they can find a doctor.
Lachlan, the farmer who is working at the farm, allows Mary to rest in a bed, the coachman to have a place for the carriage and the horses and he gives a horse to the footman in order that he might go and get a doctor. All that leaves Lady Minerva to care for Mary and wait for the doctor to arrive.
Lachlan is just exactly what Minerva needs. He admires her and tells her so. He shares his courage.
Minerva provides Lachlan with some thoughts that he needs as well. She helps him to see that he can get past the history of his childhood.
These two are perfect for one another. I liked both of them very much. She is lovely and he is heroic.
This is a very quick read which is perfect for any reader looking for a story about people who are good and kind.
Ms Holt is a new author for me. I look forward to reading more of her stories.

There Are Plenty More Dukes in the SeaThere are many reasons Lady Angel Templeton needs her grandfather’s money.

A certain Duke of Norwick would be a fool to ignore her… |
A Rake Never Changes His SpotsLord Seth Templeton has no desire for life to change. He enjoyed every minute of his bachelor existence. Anyway, his older brother, the Marquis of Eastbrook, partakes in enough seriousness for one family. His reputation as a rake has never caused him any problems…until now. |

She must travel to the wilds of Scotland to fetch a mysterious something. Minerva cannot fathom why she should be the one to have to bring home this object but if she does not, their grandfather’s fortune will go to a most underserving man. |
All's Fair in Love and DebaucheryTheo, the Marquis of Eastbrook, has the easiest of tasks. At least the rest of his family thinks so. Return to his entailed estate and remain there for two months. It should be simple… But he has refused to set foot there since the death of his wife. Theo will do what he must for his family. It’s just, well, he almost forgot his ward still resides there. |
