The Gay Gordons — Barbara Allen (2)

Always expect the unexpected...

Janet Beaton planned to marry the wealthy author Leroy Gordon, but Leroy's daughter Melanie Gordon was fiercely opposed to the May-September match.

So Melanie contrived to stir things up by inviting her handsome brother, Carey Gordon, to Dunellen, the crumbling Scottish castle where the family was staying.

Alastair Moray didn't want a family of rich Americans in his ancestral home, lucrative guests though they might be. But his obstinacy was outmatched by the Gordon charm and determination.

And Melanie's scheme proved more successful than she'd ever imagined -- but she never expected to fall in love herself with the brooding Alastair Moray, laird of Dunellen!
