About the Author:
Arnette Lamb (1947-1998) was the New York Times bestselling author of Chieftain, Border Lord, and other historical romance novels. She won multiple awards for her writing, including the Romantic Times Best New Historical Author award.
From Publishers Weekly:
In 1735 Alpin MacKay's uncle dies and leaves the Barbados plantation she has run for years not to her but to Malcolm Kerr, a Scottish nobleman and the childhood friend with whom she played "kiss-the-freckle." Alpin returns to Scotland to seduce him with the help of her maid Elanna's "come-to-me sauce" and then trick him out of the plantation, but Malcolm has his own agenda: ruining Alpin's reputation. When she was six Alpin opened a jar of hornets under the toga Malcolm wore to impersonate Julius Caesar and the insects stung his testicles until they were "as big as the blacksmith's fists." Believing himself infertile and Alpin the cause of it, Malcolm "handfasts" himself to her, meaning that they will sleep together but only marry when she becomes pregnant. Veering from the ridiculous to the incomprehensible, Lamb ( Border Lord ) writes cryptically about Scottish politics and blithely introduces contemporary mores and habits. Malcolm's former mistress was using a contraceptive sponge and at one point he claims "in our culture we value our women for more than childbearing. We give them freedom." Alpin is equally ahead of her time. She only wants to possess her uncle's plantation so that she can free the slaves who toil there.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the second book of the Border Series by bestselling, award-wining author Arnette Lamb, Lady Alpin MacKay storms the Kildalton Castle in the Scottish hills, determined to reclaim the property stolen from her by her childhood nemesis, the devilishly handsome Lord Malcom Kerr. Infuriated that her childhood nemesis turned Scottish lord, Malcom Kerr, stole her land, Lady Alpin MacKay travels to Kildalton Castle to seduce him into forfeiting the land back to its rightful owner. With her maid, Elanne, by her side, Alpin devises a plan to trick Malcom into marrying her so she can become the rightful owner of the plantation she has been living on for years. When the beautiful Alpin arrives on his doorstep declaring her land--and herself--are for his taking, Malcom is thrilled. At last, he has her under his thumb, right where he wants her, and can get retribution for the damage Alpin caused by a prank gone wrong when she was just six years old. As Malcom and Alpin plot their revenge on each other, each trying to claim what they believe they deserve, neither of them expects the flames of passion that ignite between them. A new Scottish romance--the sequel to Border Lord--from bestselling author Arnette Lamb, winner of the 1990-91 Romantic Times Award for Best New Historical Romance Author. Lady Alpin MacKay and Scottish lord Malcolm Kerr do battle, little realizing the fierce love about to be ignited.
