Leah, what year did you read this book?

Can you tell us more about the blackmail letters - who wrote them, how did they threaten the heroine or her family?

[Leah]

I read it a year or two ago, but I think it was an older book possibly. if I remember correctly, the hero is the one that blackmailed her sort of, but not to hurt her family or anything. he just learned of the things she was writing and told her he could tell others if she didn't marry him.

[Leah]

he also never wrote letters to her. the letters mentioned are letters she writes in the name of her brother and his friends so they can give them to their lovers

[Leah]

actually nevermind! I found it! it was the lady and the Laird by Nicola Cornick
