"The woman who will one day wear Richard Lysted's ring will be genteel, dainty and well-bred." This eliminates Grace MacEachin on all three counts. A hellion of the first order, the alluring infuriating woman would be nothing more than a passing temptation to an upstanding gentleman like Richard -- if it weren't for the fact that she's tyring to blackmail his father!
Or, as Grace sees it, trying to get justice--and maybe just the slightest hint of revenge on the family that tore her life asunder when she was just a girl. And as for Lysted, well, the stuffy, humorless amn wouldn't suffer for time spent in company more exciting that that of his company ledgers. Only we Richard gets Grace alone, she discovers he may know a thing or two about excitement after all...

Cathy Mathwell weaves a wondeful story. As usual I found myself wondering how she was going to bring two characters with opposing goals together. Grace is headstrong and Richard is reserved. He ventures with her to the Highlands to clear his family's name. Richard is an unlikely hero but his sensitivity and surprising skill make him worthy of our herione. There is such tenderness between these characters. I highly recommend "The Marriage Ring" if you want a novel to pull at your heart strings.
