Publisher Description
Scotland, 1811. Coming from the Highlands to Edinburgh in search of a husband, Alison Lamont finds herself in all sorts of trouble.
Thrown out of a fashionable ball for a stolen kiss, Alison flees from a riot in the notorious Old Town and meets Willie Kemp, an eccentric boatbuilder. While she falls deeply in love with Mr. Kemp, her aunt wishes her to marry the obnoxious but rich John Forres.
Alison takes drastic measures to solve her dilemma, including a long trip through the snow-covered Pentland Hills. But who left the mysterious footprints outside her cottage, and what secrets is Mr. Kemp hiding?
Customer Reviews
The Handfasters
I did enjoy this book, but do not like that it was told in the way it was. Other than that I think the book was very well written.
Very cute, but very short!
Written like an old timey tale. Felt like I was reading a Charles Dickens or Jane Austin novel.
Loved it!
Loved it! Very well written.
