Temptation / Jude Deveraux / 346 pages / Scotland

Temperance O'Neill is fighting for women's rights.  Her speaking engagements are well-attended and hats are her icon.  When her mother, Melanie, marries a traditional, old-fashioned Scotsman, Angus McCaron, he demands that Temperance move with them to Scotland, as she is unmarried.  Since Angus now controls the money left her by her father, she has no choice but to follow them to Scotland.  She make his life miserable.  The house is always filled with her acquaintances and she spends, spends, spends.  In a mutally benefiial attempt to get rid of her, he sends her to his nephew, Laird Jamie McCaron.  Jamie is a rather poor sheep farmer, but beloved by the local populace.  If Jamie could find the treasure reported to have been hidden by his grandmother, he would be wealthy.  Unfortunately, he might lose everything he has if he does not marry for true love before his next birthday.  Temperance is sent to find him a wife.  It's not easy...but rather enjoyable...
