The Lady Most Willing... — Julia Quinn

At the behest of three of the most talented historical romance authors writing today, you are cordially invited to a ball. No, a party. No . . . a kidnapping.

Taran Ferguson, laird of his clan, is determined that his ancient (if not so honorable) birthright be secured before he dies. When both his nephews refuse to wed, the old reprobate takes matters into his own hands: he raids a ball and makes off with four likely brides . . .

Miss Marilla Chisholm -- the bonniest lass in Scotland, and an heiress to boot.

Miss Fiona Chisholm -- her older sister, another fine choice (but for that tiny stain on her reputation).

Lady Cecily Tarleton -- true, she's an English beauty, but very, very rich.

Miss Catriona Burns -- without name or fortune, clearly someone made a mistake.

Oh, yes. And one very irate duke.

Now, while they wait out a fierce Highland storm in a ruin of a castle, Taran's "guests" are running from Cupid's arrows . . . and from Taran, who is determined to find the lady most willing to love a Scottish lord.
