Pride Before Fall

Pride Before Fall

Mills & Boon Limited, 1947

[from dj flap of Mills & Boon reprint] At eighteen years old, Judy Wetherstone had never been ruled by anyone in her life, and had no intention of accepting any kind of authority or interference in her affairs; Joch Strathlean, the imperious Scotsman to whose guardianship she found herself entrusted, was equally determined to shoulder his responsibilities and to instil discipline and social polish into his rebellious ward. Finding this task too complicated in the confines of London, he bore her off to his family castle in Scotland, and there, against the wild yet magnificent background of the Highlands, the battle between the two implacable wills, between defiance and pride, reached its stormy climax.
