A medieval Scottish lady gets to choose her husband, but getting married won't be easy in this romance by the bestselling author of No Other Highlander
The unconventional Lady Katherine McKenna has been granted a rare privilege: the right to choose her own husband. It's a more difficult task than she expected. When at last she agrees to a betrothal, it quickly goes awry, leaving Katherine alone in the wilds . . . and rescued by Laird Lachlan MacTavish. She's captivated by the proud, brooding chief who shows her such tender care. But with their clans on the brink of war, the honorable Lachlan resists his attraction—until Katherine proclaims to her family that they will wed.
Though stunned by her boldness, Lachlan is intrigued by Katherine's beauty and spirit, and the MacTavishes will benefit from an alliance with the powerful McKennas. But with family discord, treachery, and deceit in their midst, can they save a marriage that is destined to blossom into incomparable love?

In her latest Scottish romance, Basso brings readers to fourteenth-century Scotland, where marriages between clans are of strategic advantage and decided by fathers. This long-standing tradition is turned on its head when the wife of Laird McKenna extracts a promise from her husband: her daughter can choose the man she marries. Lady Katherine McKenna waits well beyond the traditional marrying age, searching for just the right partner. Thinking she has found that elusive "one," Katherine agrees to marry until she sees that he actually loves another. Katherine attempts to break the marriage contract by fleeing from the castle in the dead of night. During her flight, she is faced with numerous trials and tribulations, resulting in her meeting Laird Lachlan MacTavish. Both are struck by an unshakable knowledge that fate has brought them together. Can Katherine and Lachlan overcome marriage contracts, pride, honor, and family obligations to find true love? Basso's latest will please fans of Paula Quinn or Michele Sinclair.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
