The Untamed Mackenzie

The Untamed Mackenzie

A WOMAN OF BREEDING MEETS A MAN OF NO STANDING… To redeem her family’s disgraced name, Lady Louisa Scranton has decided to acquire a proper husband. He needs to be a man of fortune and highly respectable in order to restore both her family's lost wealth and reputation. She enters the Marriage Mart with all flags flying, determined to find the right bachelor. But Louisa’s hopes are dashed when the Bishop of Hargate drops dead at her feet—and she is shockingly accused of murder! Soon, Louisa’s so-called friends begin shunning her, because the company of a suspected killer is never desirable in polite society. The problem comes to the ears of Detective Inspector Lloyd Fellows, by-blow of the decadent Scottish Mackenzie family and an inspector for Scotland Yard. He has shared two passionate kisses with Lady Louisa–and vows to clear her name. For not only does he know she’s innocent, he recognizes he’s falling for the lovely lady. Fellows is Louisa's only hope of restoring her family's honor—and it is he alone who intrigues Louisa in a way that may be even more scandalous than murder… INCLUDES A PREVIEW OF THE UPCOMING NOVEL THE WICKED DEEDS OF DANIEL MACKENZIE

This was Book 5.5 of the Highland Pleasure series. In this installment, we follow Chief Inspector Lloyd Fellows POV. Lloyd is the illegitimate son of the former Duke, half brother of Ian, Hart, Cameron and Mac. Lloyd has not had an easy life. He grew up in the slums, his mother having to work long hours in a tavern to support them and a father that refused to acknowledge him. He was involved in petty crime as a young lad but managed to straighten himself out, get a respectable if not lucrative position as a Constable and work himself up to one of the best detectives that Scotland Yard has. The one thing missing from Lloyd's life is Louisa. Louisa Scranton is the sister of Mac's wife Isabella. Lloyd is in love with Louisa but she is beyond his station in life. She will marry well, have a life of leisure. Lloyd cannot provide that. One day at a Garden Party everything changes. Louisa is suspected of killing the Bishop. Lloyd knows she's innocent and must prove it in order to protect Louisa from the gallows that would surely await if she was convicted. This was a sweet story and followed the formula of interweaving characters from the entire family to create the story. Louisa and Lloyd are the perfect match and you couldn't help but root for the underdog in this case! A perfect pajama day read!
