About this ebook

Award-winning author Patricia Potter sweeps readers to an ancestral estate in Scotland where a lady’s heart is reawakened by the surprising arrival of a rugged American lawman

After hunting down outlaws during America’s Civil War, marshal Ben Masters faces a new challenge. His promise to a dying woman has made him the guardian of Sarah Ann Hamilton, an orphaned little girl who must be returned to the Scottish estate she has inherited. But at Calholm, Ben encounters a clan divided by greed and ambition. Only Sarah Ann stands between the coveted Scottish keep and those next in line to inherit. One of them is the child’s beautiful aunt.

Five years ago, Lisbeth Hamilton came to Calholm as a young bride. When her husband died, she found a new passion: establishing a world-renowned stable and breeding a champion steed to rival any in the British Isles. Now the entire family’s fate rests with the rugged American who has upended their world . . . and who arouses strong emotions in Lisbeth. With deadly intrigue swirling around Calholm and Ben Masters laying claim to her heart, she realizes how far she’ll go to protect the child they have both come to love and the passion they were meant to share.

The Marshal and the Heiress is the 1st book in the American/Scottish Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Author

Patricia Potter

Julianna Morris happily reports that she and her own Mr. Right are working on a shoreline home in the Great Lakes area. Not only does Mr. Right get along with her cat, but he's introduced her to the chaotic joy of a multiple dog household. Of course, the cat still rules, but felines are loveable dictators...most of the time. Her feline sidekick is now over 20 pounds, leading some visitors to suspect she has a mountain lion living in the house. One of his cherished pastimes is pulling paperback books out of the bookshelf. He's quite comical standing on his hind legs, slipping and sliding on the books already on the ground, yet determined to clear the rest off of the shelf. In Julianna's opinion anyone who lives with a feline-or a husband-desperately needs a sense of humor. Luckily hers is quite intact and a little offbeat, so she laughs when those books come off the shelf, instead of worrying about having to pick them up again. Like a cat, Julianna is curious about everything. Her interests range from history, science and photography, to antiquing, traveling, walking, gardening and reading science fiction. She draws, paints, collects teapots and recipes, has taught classes in American patchwork and quilting, and tries to find time for everything else she wants to do. People often ask about her favorite movies and actors, and the answer changes constantly. But she's particularly fond of old movies, like The Wizard of Oz, The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, and The Major and the Minor. More recent movies she's enjoyed are Calendar Girls, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Luther. As for actors and actresses, she thinks Cary Grant was gorgeous, Jean Stapleton marvelously talented and that Sean Connery is sexy at any age. Julianna's love of writing was born out of a passion for reading-one of her most valued possessions as a child was her library card. The worlds opened by books were such magical places that it wasn't long before she wanted to create a few of her own. Her first Silhouette book was published in August 1995.
