The Laird's Willful Lass The Lairds Most Likely Book 1

An untamed man as immovable as a Highland mountain... Fergus Mackinnon, autocratic Laird of Achnasheen, likes to be in charge. When he was little more than a lad, he became master of his Scottish estate, and he's learned to rely on his unfailing judgment. So has everyone else in his corner of the world. He sees no reason for his bride-when he finds her-to be any different. A headstrong woman from the warm and passionate south... Marina Lucchetti knows all about fighting her way through a wall of masculine arrogance. In her native Florence, she's become a successful artist, no easy feat for a woman. Now a commission to paint a series of Highland scenes promises to spread her fame far and wide. When a carriage accident strands her at Achnasheen for a few weeks, it's a mixed blessing. The magnificent landscape offers everything her artistic soul could desire. If only she can resist the impulse to smash her easel across the laird's obstinate head. When two fiery souls come together, a conflagration flares. Marina is Fergus's worst nightmare-a woman who defies a man's guidance. Fergus challenges everything Marina believes about a woman's right to choose her path. No two people could be less suited. But when irresistible passion enters the equation, good sense soon jumps into the loch. Will the desire between Fergus and Marina blaze hot, then fade to ashes? Or will the imperious laird and his willful lass discover that their differences aren't insurmountable after all, but the spice that will flavor a lifetime of happiness?
