The wild moors of Scotland, 1904
Texas rancher Rye Dalreagh is being thrown in at the deep-end as the long-lost heir to Castle Dunrannoch, with five potential brides to choose from and a whole lot to learn about being a 'proper gentleman'.
Ursula needs to hide from her dastardly guardian and his oafish marriage plans, until her inheritance unlocks on her twenty-fifth birthday.
A chance meeting on a train has Ursula taking on the identity of an elderly etiquette teacher, and heading to the castle to whip her 'young charge' into shape—but horse-riding, cow-lassoing, Stetson-wearing Rye is a whole lot more than she's bargained for.
Rye is expected to choose a bride but, with a murderer on the loose, and an ancient Scottish curse to navigate, will he ever make it down the aisle?
