Lady of Skye

Dr. Reilly Stanton, the Marquis of Stillworth, comes to the remote Scottish village of Lyming to prove to his pious and sweet ex-fiancee that he's a serious physician and not a wastrel. It appears that Reilly's handsome but loutish patron, the Earl of Glendinning, has hired him in an effort to lure Brenna Donegal, the gorgeous, independent and intelligent daughter of the town's former doctor, away from her interest in medicine so that she can become his beloved bride.

But the strong-willed Brenna wants no part of Glendinning and, like Reilly, is determined to discover why epidemics of cholera continue to plague Lyming. Meanwhile, Reilly finds his fondness for his former fiancee waning and his love for Brenna growing.
