Merritt is a widow, running her late husbands shipping company. Keir is Scottish, in London to sell his whisky from Isla. Merritt and Keir have an immediate attraction, leading to a whirlwind, regency romance while trying to uncover why someone is trying to kill Keir. This was a fun, steamy romance, and my first from Lisa Kleypas, who I will definitely be reading again.

I liked the lightness and the chemistry between Merritt and Keir, but I didn't like how they treated the plot line of infertility so flippantly, having her immediately get pregnant. Also the revenge plot of Keir's inheritance felt forced, and resolved too quickly.
