When Chloe Sullivan's great uncle dies, leaving her his house and a not-quite castle in the Highlands of Scotland, Chloe's more than willing to take a vacation across the pond to check it all out. When she gets there, she finds out there's a catch-if she wants to keep her inheritance, she has to marry a Scot. And her great uncle even left her a suggestion as to who. Malcolm MacTavish is taken with the lovely, straightforward Chloe the moment he sees her at the airport. But they can't enjoy more than a brief fling, since she's planning to go back to the States. The more he gets to know her, though, the more he wants to try to change her mind. Until he finds out about the will. Warning: This title contains a Highland fling (a.k.a explicit sex), Scottish accents and gratuitous jokes about the Loch Ness Monster.
