A SWEEPING HISTORICAL SAGA - Well, not exactly. Still, for Elspeth Fielding, helping James Murdoch research his eighteenth century novel by living "in period" was a journalist's dream come true, for it gave her an inside look at the wildly successful, frustratingly reclusive writer. Not to mention all that time in the wilds with a devastatingly attractive male.

James Murdoch was through with women - or so he thought. Elspeth's humor and enthusiasm throughout the project destroyed his concentration, and soon their old-fashioned arrangement turned into a very modern-day love affair!
