Jane Eveleigh was forced to marry Dominic Stanbridge, Marquess of Lancaster. On their wedding night, he vowed to seduce her within six months or give her the annulment she asked for. But the next morning Dominic is not himself. He is speaking with a Scottish accent and calling himself Colin MacKenzie, a Scottish Earl who lived more than 300 years ago. Jane believes a bump on the head has caused this illness. But that doesn't explain why she is suddenly attracted to him.

This story pulled me in from the first. Jane was forced to marry Lancaster against her will and is trying to make the best of it. Her mother and sister really don't seem to care about her situation. The story kept me guessing as to whether this was a real time-travel situation or if a concussion is causing Lancaster's delusions. My problem with his book was Jane and Colin kept having the same conversation over and over. Colin would blame her for being a witch and she would tell him it was his "illness". It felt like the conversation never changed. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
