He considered himself quite clever in his choice.Brighde MacKai believes in living life according to God’s will. In her eyes Iver MacTavish is the worst sort of sinner. He'd chosen her shy, quiet sister Keeva as his bride, and Brighde could not let that happen. A man of MacTavish's appetites and temper would destroy Keeva within a week. Brighde prayed for guidance and now knows in her heart God wishes her to wed MacTavish in her sister's place.Will Brighde's strong faith reform MacTavish and make him into the sort of man who deserves to be wed to a MacKai Jewel. Or will Iver’s sinful seductions steal Brighde’s hope of heaven?

Bit of a shock

Lusty Laird Iver weds Keeva by proxy fulfilling his dying father's order. Months later his proxy bride arrives at the keep to find him in bed with three women! Thing is, though, it's MacKai jewel Brigdhe NOT Keeva. In a mere 54 pages Rue packs an entertaining story of what transpires between Iver and Brigdhe not to mention the clan wenches. A shame the story wasn't longer with such a cast of characters.
