Arran MacLawry is away from his beloved Scotland, stuck in a ballroom in England. His older brother, Ranulf, is head of their clan, and wants Arran to meet the woman he's expected to marry, an alliance that will be politically beneficial. While Arran has no immediate desire to wed, he's willing to do his duty. But in the interim, he steals a waltz with a captivating lady, not knowing that she is Mary Campbell, the granddaughter of the head of a rival clan. While the clans are currently observing a tenuous truce, the dance causes a minor uproar among both families. Just as Arran has to do, Mary is also expected to wed her family's choice -- all for the clan.

Though their initial meeting was brief, Arran and Mary enjoyed their dance. Against his own better judgment, Arran manages to meet Mary again, and arranges another secret meeting. It's clear that there is no future for them, as they're both intended to wed others, but they can't seem to stay away from each other. All hell breaks loose when they are caught sharing a stolen kiss. Mary's almost-fiance breaks off with her, and her father quickly announces her engagement to a sleazy cousin she despises. Ranulf is furious with Arran, and orders him back to Scotland, fearing that he has caused the shaky truce to be broken.

Arran is set to go back home, but finds a way to get a message to Mary. When he learns she's very unhappy with her arrangements, he throws all caution to the wind, and comes up with a scheme to spirit her away. The ramifications will likely be disastrous, but their feelings won't be denied. Their journey is lovely. It begins with a whole lot of uncertainty, both about their feelings toward each other and the future. Will they cause a clan war? Should they marry? With each passing day, their feelings grow, and they know they have to spend their lives together.

This second book of the Scandalous Highlanders series, ROGUE WITH A BROGUE, is full of adventure, romance, danger, a yummy hero, and a hard-won happy ever after. Suzanne Enoch has crafted a touching story sure to please her fans, as well as the legions of Scottish romance lovers.
