A Fine Madness

About A Fine Madness

"If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village,she must seek them abroad." Jane Austen Miss Otis regrets... The entirely of Miss Elspeth Otis's inheritance from her wastrel father is a battered old trunk with some scrawled-upon foolscap sheets.

Nothing that could free her from a stifling life with her fusty maiden aunties in a musty old cottage in a misty corner of Scotland. Nothing that will give her the life she's always dreamed of--a life full of kindness and kisses and love. Or will it?

Nothing... Mr. Hamish Cathcart wants more than anything to avoid the hasty marriage to a brewer's daugh-ter his father, the earl, has arranged to revive his fortunes.

Hamish's only hope is his failing pub-lishing company, whose only asset is a scandalously banned book by an infamous, but unfortu-nately deceased, author. But when a new novel written by the same man lands on Hamish's doorstep, he'll go to any length to secure it--any length but love.
