    About this ebook

    There’s no matchmaking an unruly heart

    When a prominent Scottish family faces a major scandal weeks before their daughter’s wedding, they turn in desperation to the enigmatic fixer for the aristocracy, Nichol Bain. Remarkably skilled at making high-profile problems go away, Nichol understands the issue immediately. The family’s raven-haired ward, Maura Darby, has caught the wandering eye—and rather untoward advances—of the groom.

    Nichol assuredly escorts Maura toward his proposed solution: an aging bachelor for her to marry. But rebellious Maura has no interest in marrying a stranger, especially when her handsome traveling companion has captivated her so completely. Thankfully, Nichol loves a challenge, but traveling with the bold and brash Maura has him viewing her as far more than somebody’s problem. Which raises a much bigger issue—how can he possibly elude disaster when the heart of the problem is his own?

      ... problem solved ... sort of!A well to do Scottish family has a problem. Their ward has attracted the eye of their daughter's fiancé. Of course Maura Darby is to blame! Not! I fairly burned at the treatment this young woman had handed out to her by the Garbett family who was supposed to protect her. As for the weak willed groom who threw himself at Maura and was not man enough to own that it was he who made advances! Words fail me!The family turns to Nichol Bain, a fixer of dilemmas the aristocracy finds themselves in. His answer is very neat. He aims to kill two birds with one stone as it were by marrying Maura off to an older bachelor Nichol had been asked to find a wife for.Only Nichol had not counted on Maura and her will!I found this to be somewhat of a roller coaster read. I felt for Maura and her treatment by the family. I was appalled by their actions of taking her heirloom necklace, the only thing she had from her mother. I enjoyed Nichol, but the chemistry between him and Maura was a non event for me.There were however some intriguing and humorous moments despite my previous comment.A NetGalley ARC

      3.75/5. Nichol Bain has been building up his reputation over many years as the go-to man for the aristocrats to fix any awkward situation they might find themselves in. His latest task is to situate an inconveniently beautiful young lady anywhere but at her guardian's house, as her allure has proven to be a mighty distraction to the fiancé of the guardian's daughter. He decides to neatly kill two birds with one stone by matching her up with an older earl who needs a wife to keep him in line. Of course the lady turns out to be less than compliant with his brilliant idea. This might turn out to be the one situation he cannot manipulate.

      Since her father's death when she was twelve, Maura Darby has learnt to hold her tongue and tried her hardest to fade into the background so as not to draw too much attention to herself and the ire of her guardian's wife and daughter. As her beauty bloomed however, it became an increasingly difficult undertaking as her physical appeal attracted unsolicited male attention. Falsely accused and unfairly banished from her guardian's home, she is in a seething, simmering state of agitation when located by Nichol and instead of the expected gratitude and feminine appreciation for his offering of a comfortable marital settlement, she unleashes on him all her years of suppressed anger. Basically, there is no way in hell she was going to submit herself under male control again now that she has a small taste of independence. But as a young unmarried female in Scotland, Maura really didn't have many options. As she and Nichol negotiated an acceptable deal to suit them both, they of course acquaint themselves with one another far more than what was appropriate for a professional fixer and the subject of his assignment.

      Spirited and smart heroine who just wanted to finally have a voice after being silenced for so long. Hero with a lot of emotional baggage. Nice chemistry especially their feisty initial meeting. The author highlighted the limited rights and general helplessness of women in those days - unable to choose their own spouse, occupation of their choice or own property and generally were often used as pawns for monetary, social and political gains by their families and guardians. It was a coming together of two lonely souls, rejected by those who supposedly cared for them.

      This was far fetched in parts and I feel like it could have been much better with a few things tweaked. Fine story though.
