false 5981872 2 The year is 1881. Meet the Mackenzie family--rich, powerful, dangerous, eccentric. A lady couldn't be seen with them without ruin. Rumors surround them--of tragic violence, of their mistresses, of their dark appetites, of scandals that set England and Scotland abuzz. The youngest brother, Ian, known as the Mad Mackenzie, spent most of his young life in an asylum, and everyone agrees he is decidedly odd. He's also hard and handsome and has a penchant for Ming pottery and beautiful women. Beth Ackerley, widow, has recently come into a fortune. She has decided that she wants no more drama in her life. She was raised in drama--an alcoholic father who drove them into the workhouse, a frail mother she had to nurse until her death, a fussy old lady she became constant companion to. No, she wants to take her money and find peace, to travel, to learn art, to sit back and fondly remember her brief but happy marriage to her late husband. And then Ian Mackenzie decides he wants her. 6155268 28 4 2009 The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie (Leisure Historical Romance) total:180|5:97|4:51|3:23|2:4|1:5| 180 771 305 46 5 17 false false Mon Apr 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 17:49:35 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 18:27:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 8 false false Thu May 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 20:19:40 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 13:22:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Wed May 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 21:28:15 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 17:33:15 -0700 2009
