Imogen Maxwell is on a hunt for rare, antique items to use on a period movie set. The last thing she expects to discover in the peaceful Scottish countryside is a pristine medieval sword...or to suddenly find herself facing its very vintage owner in a far too authentic castle. Phillip de Piaget has run out of patience with his recalcitrant Scottish betrothed and is determined that she will join him, once and for all, in front of the altar. Only the lass he captures fleeing his would-be keep seems more interested in running away from him than talking to him. In fact, she seems to have no idea who he is. But taming his reluctant bride is the least of his worries; it seems someone else wants him at the chapel...in a stone box. As for Imogen, how can he let her go, when she holds the key to not only the castle, but his heart? Chapter One Present Day England The next time she traveled halfway across the world, she was going to pack all her belongings in a bag with a functional zipper. Imogen Honoria Maxwell looked at what her too-full suitcase had just belched out in untidy piles around her and wished she had the energy to be embarrassed. As it was, all she could do was imagine how blissful it might feel to lie down on those piles and nap. She looked up what seemed an endless number of stairs at King’s Cross station, then wondered if she would draw undue attention to herself if she simply sat down in the midst of unmentionables and cried. She didn’t cry as a general rule, preferring to sort of slide past Fate’s notice whenever possible with a cheerful smile and a stiff upper lip, but she was in unusual and dire circumstances. She’d just finished a hellish trip she’d been sure would last the better part of eternity, she was in a foreign country where they drove on the wrong side of the road, and she had one shot at being brilliant at a job that could potentially bring her one step closer to her dream career. It was best not to add any more drama to what she already had going. At least there didn’t seem to be a crowd of Londoners scooping up her stuff and running off with it. That was the last thing she needed, to be in the wilds of England with no clean underwear. “Here, miss, let me help you.” Imogen looked blearily at the people pushing past her and realized that someone had actually stopped to help her. She would have blushed at the sight of a very masculine hand gathering up her underclothes and stuffing them back into her suitcase, but she was too jet-lagged to do anything but stand there and yawn. She made a halfhearted effort to feel bad about not helping—no, that was too much trouble, too. She would have made a mental note to remind herself to get more sleep next time before a big trip, but she didn’t have a pen and her mind was a blank. Maybe she would remember it later. The man straightened and picked up her suitcase, broken zipper and all. “Is the rest of your gear manageable, think you?” She would have laughed a little at the turn of phrase, but before she could, she got a good look at her rescuer. All right, so she wasn’t one to go for blonds. That guy there was definitely gorg...
