Wariness of strangers has kept Piper's presence at the Grange a secret for more than two years. However, while distrust hasn't entirely guaranteed security, it has ensured loneliness. When Connor comes along, she's torn between her head and her heart. She'd be a fool to put her faith in another man.

"In this spicy, humorous addition to the Questions for a Highlander series, Angeline Fortin continues the adventures of the MacKintosh clan with the tale of how Harry met Fiona and broke her heart.
They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned but Fiona MacKintosh was more inclined to believe that after a long, furious journey through hell, no scorned woman was apt to be inclined to love and entrust her heart to a man so easily again.
Especially not to the same man!
Harry Brudenall, Marquis of Aylesbury, has devoted so much of his life to finding his long-lost sister that he's almost forgotten what it feels like to live. Fiery and passionate, Fiona is life. In her, he finds a reason to embrace the present and live for the future. If only she'll have him.
Fiona is determined to find a man and marriage meant for her convenience and the handsome, charismatic, heartbreaking marquis, Harry Brudenall, is not on her list. But when danger looms unexpectedly, and it is her life rather than her heart that is in peril, she soon realizes that there is only one man she wants to turn to for protection.
One man who will prove his love . . . and without question, give his life for her."
"James has watched his brothers find the perfect woman one after the other, but for him, he had yet to stumble across one who didn't make him want to put an ocean between them. So he did, thinking a life in New York would put his discontent out of sight.
New York suffragette Primrose had more than enough men trying to control her. There was no chance she'd relent and marry again, despite her brothers' dogged 'encouragement' on the matter. She wanted independence and freedom. A husband would only serve to snatch that dream away.
What Prim needed was a decoy and James was just the man for the job.

It's only when betrayal and despair leave them both longing for more in their lives that they realize the importance of a love worth having, and a question worth asking."
