Hemsworth is the only home Leah MacRae has ever known - but she has never quite felt at home in it.

Found twenty-one years ago on the kitchen doorstep, wrapped in a plaid no one recognized, named only by a slip of vellum tucked into her shawl, Leah has lived inside the kindness of the Duchess and the brusque distance of the Laird, building a small good life in the stillroom: feverfew tinctures, mullein for the lung-poultices, a ribbon that has long stopped matching her gown. The kitchen-lasses still call her Leah Left-Behind when she is not in the room. She has, for twenty-one years, allowed herself to expect nothing else.

Then word comes that the army is three weeks from home - and with the army, riding back, will be Sir Gavin MacBlair: the dark-eyed, quietly serious knight who once helped a small girl up out of a snowdrift, and who has, by the King's will, become heir to lands the Laird has been keeping for him in trust.

And in the Duchess's voice when she speaks his name, Leah hears a thing she has never been allowed to expect.

A husband.

A hall.

A name that is not Left-Behind.

But Sir Gavin's hall is broken, the southern lands are in want of mending - and Leah carries, in the bottom of the Duchess's oak chest, a small slip of vellum she has not yet been told the whole truth of.

The first novel in The Unsuitable Brides - a sweet, slow, tender Scottish historical romance from Moira MacBride.
