title: The Seduction of Elliot McBride (Mackenzies Series)
author:  Jennifer Ashley 
description: The guests have assembled, the minister is waiting, and Juliana St. John is ready to get married. But where is the groom? As Juliana soon discovers, Grant Barclay has eloped with his piano teacher. While trying to compose herself, Juliana runs into Elliot McBride and, in a fit of what she can only call madness, she proposes to him. Much to her surprise, Elliot accepts. Taking advantage of the arrangements already in place, Juliana and Elliot are immediately wed and promptly set off to Elliots newly purchased home in the Scottish Highlands. Upon arriving, Juliana discovers that its a run-down castle in serious need of work, but that is nothing compared to the time and effort shell need to restore Elliot to the man she once knew and loved. RITA Awardwinning Ashley excels at creating multilayered, realistically complex characters, and the latest installment in her Mackenzie Brothers series is a richly emotional treat for fans of tortured heroes. Ashley not only handles Julianas romantic redemption of Elliot with significant finesse; she also delivers abundant sensual passion. --John Charles
