SOLVED. Highland Romance... one clue is a laird has LOTS of SONS all by diff women who name them after the father. [s]

[Susan]

Trying to identify a book from a few details. One being that the heroines got a father with MANY bastard SONS all with more or less the same name.

Her treasured belongings are put in the dungeon storage and destroyed maliciously.
Her betrothed/husband is the laird.
Her nemesis has some crazy relationship with a neighbor laird and something to do with raising money for the clan.

That's about all I remember except the overall feel of it, which would be hard to relay concisely. Any ideas?

When did you read it?

Perhaps within the last few years... up to 6 or 5. I can't remember how long I've read this genre exactly. But it could be a very old book.
The father and all her brothers with the same name is a minuscule part of the story near the end, I think.

Love Me Forever by Johanna Lindsey? (view spoiler)[ She grew up thinking the man her mother married was her father. Finds out later she was a bastard. Her real father, Ian, has many bastard sons also named Ian. When her belongings arrive at her new home in Scotland, they are stored in a basement area and a jealous girl destroys them. Her husband's clan is in need of money and the jealous girl "sells" herself to a neighboring laird that has wanted her for years. The hero's stepmother had stolen the clan's money/jewels years ago. The stepmother is found because she is marrying the heroine's "stepfather" (the man who married her mother). (hide spoiler)]

The father and brothers aren't a integral part of the story but rather something I remember as a minor happening, I think.
