Fireworks sparked the first meeting of Julia and Vincent Galbraith. In the best of times, Julia would have mistrusted the Laird of Galbraith Hall. He was too handsome -- and too used to getting his own way. But these were not the best of times. Julia had come to the Highlands to recover from the death of her beloved fiance, not to find romance. With the help of active matchmakers, Julia and Vince were brought together again and again. Inevitably, her heart told her the kissing time had returned -- even as her mind and will resisted it.
