      This book is dedicated to authors like Sabrina Jeffries, Katharine Ashe, and Jennifer Delamere who made me love historical and Regency Historical Romance. I want to especially thank author Hannah Howell for tempting me to start writing about Scottish heroes.

      North of the Scottish border

      Autumn 1816

      Bloody hell! Daisy cried, having pricked her finger for the third time this morning. Cursing was unladylike and her employer would slap her silly if she’d ever cursed in the presence of a customer, but the commotion outside her window was too loud to ignore.

      With a pile of dresses to complete for the shop and one wedding dress in particular for the rude and finicky young woman who’d arrived mere hours earlier from London, she threw the half-finished wedding gown over a stool beside her.

      Daisy shoved open the cracked window in her second floor sewing room, but she saw nothing out of the ordinary. Whatever caused the noise wasn’t in the alleyway beside the wood pile and rubbish barrel. Tendrils of smoke from the nearby blacksmith’s forge wafted into her small but comfortable workroom. No one shall be getting married this day.

      When the blacksmith went about his regular business of heating iron and creating tools and farm implements, couples wishing to marry would have to make their presence known, then wait for the air to clear.

Swiping a hand beneath her long braid, she squeezed the skin and rolled her eyes. My stars! Is someone being murdered?

      Oye! Daisy, doono’ break yer neck. Ye have too much work to finish. Her employer, Mistress Kerr shook her head without raising it from where she dusted shelves near the back of the tiny shop.
