PROPERLY IMPROPER…AND DARING TO LOVE…
Juliana St. John was raised to be very proper. After a long engagement, her wedding day dawns—only for Juliana to find herself jilted at the altar.
Fleeing the mocking crowd, she stumbles upon Elliot McBride, the tall, passionate Scot who was her first love. His teasing manner gives her an idea, and she asks Elliot to save her from an uncertain future—by marrying her…
After escaping brutal imprisonment, Elliot has returned to Scotland a vastly wealthy yet tormented man. Now Juliana has her hands full restoring his half-ruined manor in the Scottish Highlands and trying to repair the broken heart of the man some call irredeemably mad. Though beautiful and spirited, Juliana wonders if that will be enough to win a second chance at love.

Re: The Seduction of Elliot McBride
這本書，勉強看完了，讀後感只有兩個字：後悔！
女主角Juliana婚禮當天，新郎遲遲沒有現身，等來的，卻是男主角臨陣脫逃的消息。她在教堂外面不敢想象怎麽進去對一眾親友宣布這個消息，頭皮發麻的她走進一間空屋整理思緒，剛坐下，發現長椅上有人在睡覺。這人爬起來，居然是她青梅竹馬的暗戀對象Elliot McBride，兩得交談起來，她得知他剛從印度回來，她把自己的尷尬處境告訴了Elliot，主動提出與Elliot結婚，她不知道的是Elliot也一直暗戀他，所以他爽快地接受了這個提議。
後面的就是結婚後的相處了，很沈悶，真的是沒啥情節。Elliot在印度時被俘受過折磨，
跟《午後的戀情》男主角一樣受很嚴重的PTSD影響，晚上做惡夢，有人突然從身後接近他也會刺激他的過度反應。但是與《午後的戀情》不同的事，Juliana與Elliot一直沒有坦承相對，第二章兩人就已經結婚，看到一半了，兩人還在那裏扯不清楚，後半段我只能快速翻過，一邊看一邊恨我浪費的時間。
