発行者による作品情報
From Julia
Quinn, the author of Bridgerton—along with close friends and bestselling
authors Eloisa James and Connie Brockway—comes a thrilling tale of a snow-bound party in a Scottish castle.
And You’re
Invited!
When Laird Taran
Ferguson’s nephews refuse to find brides, he takes matters into his own hands,
raiding a ball and bringing some lovely young ladies to his castle. Which
author do you think escorted which heroine to the castle?
Miss
Fiona Chisholm, a beauty with a scandalous past
Lady
Cecily Tarleton, a lovely heiress—but she’s English
Miss
Catriona Burns, a lady with no name or fortune, so clearly someone made a
mistake!
When it comes to gentlemen, did Eloisa invite an earl so
stern that he broke his engagement after a mere whiff of scandal? Did Connie
suggest that the Duke of Bretton fall asleep in the carriage used in a
kidnapping? Did Julia bring a rogue whose reputation proceeds him?
A novel in three parts, as fresh and charming as the
Highland air, written by three of the very best writers of historical romance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Three popular grand dames of historical romance team up again (after The Lady Most Likely...) to create a charming three-part farce set in 1819 Scotland. Laird Taran Ferguson goes to great drunken lengths to kidnap four young women and John Shevington, duke of Bretton, by accident in hope of finding brides for his nephews, Byron (an English earl) and Robin (improbably, a French count). No one takes Taran seriously or feels at all endangered or coerced, but while they're all stuck in his castle waiting out a storm, romance blossoms of its own accord. Penniless, untitled Catriona Burns doubts John's interest in her, so he proves his ardor. Ruined heiress Fiona Chisholm is happily looking forward to spinsterhood until Byron awakens her desire. Lady Cecily Tarleton falls for Robin at first sight and decides to seduce him. And Marilla Chisholm, Fiona's younger sister, improbably sets her cap for hoary, hilarious Taran. Witty dialogue and good-natured, down-to-earth characters make this a nice quick historical romance fix.
