Swept Off Her Feet - by Hester Browne (Paperback)

About the Book

Browne delivers a witty new stand-alone novel of sisterly love and romantic hijinks at a Reeling Ball in the Scottish countryside.

Book Synopsis

The steps of a charmingly complex dance--Scotland's famous reel--are at the heart of Hester Browne's enchanting contemporary novel of two very different sisters whose dreams may come true at a romantic Scottish ball.

Evie Nicholson is in love...with the past. An antiques appraiser in a London shop, Evie spins fanciful attachments to Victorian picture frames, French champagne glasses, satin evening gloves, and tattered teddy bears--regardless of their monetary value.

Alice Nicholson is in love...with Fraser Graham, a dashing Scotsman whom Evie secretly desires. As crisply neat and stylish as Evie is cheerfully cluttered, Alice is a professional organizer determined to pull her sister out of her comfort zone--and who presents her with an irresistible offer.

As a favor to friends of Fraser's family, Evie jumps at the chance to appraise a Scottish castle full of artifacts and heirlooms. What could be more thrilling than roaming the halls of Kettlesheer and uncovering the McAndrews' family treasures--and dusty secrets?

But crossing paths with moody heir Robert McAndrew has Evie assessing what she wants the most...and at an upcoming candlelight gala, a traditional dance will set her heart reeling.
