He's wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives-handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up in the flesh. and by pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary Captain MacKenzie. Certain to be a failure on the marriage mart, Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: she invented a sweetheart.Ī Scottish sweetheart who was handsome, honorable, and de-voted to her, but conveniently never around.
On the cusp of her first London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was shy, pretty, and talented with a drawing pencil, but hopelessly awkward with gentlemen.
