Aiming to reach a larger market, Tavish and his brothers need an infusion of cash for their whisky distillery in the Scottish Highlands. An elderly uncle suggests they seek brides with large dowries. The only place they’ll find such heiresses is London, where he has long-lost relatives. Tavish goes along with the idea, although his worst nightmare is the same kind of unhappy, loveless marriage his parents endured.
Piper Graham’s mother intends that her daughter marry the duke who has expressed interest in wooing her. Granddaughter of a Scot, Piper is enamored with all things Scottish and longs for passion in a relationship. She has no amorous feelings for the duke, who happens to be Tavish’s cousin but falls for Tavish the moment she sets eyes on him, much to the chagrin of her ambitious parent.
Piper is from a well-to-do family but marrying her won’t bring the family business the cash it requires, no matter that Tavish falls in love with her. Things become more complicated when the Prince Regent gets involved.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -
This was a fun story. It was interesting to see the two worlds collide. Scottish whisky distillers meet London misses. Piper was trying to get her suitor to stop pursuing her when she met Tavish and family. Sparks flew. Misunderstandings, certain expectations, and family tried to come between them. I enjoyed Piper's independence and strength. Tavish was quite honest and straightforward, if a little blind to what was in front of him. My only downside was that I felt there were too many characters interacting all at the same time. I understand that this is setting up the series, but it was a bit much.
Overall, this was a good story, and I look forward to the next one.
I received an ARC, and this is my unsolicited review.
