Innes Buchanan is the Laird of a run down Scottish estate who is in\u00a0the state of Texas looking to save his home from ruin by seeking out a cattle expert to help him breed a hardy new herd back home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">By the time he returns to Scotland he&#8217;s found his new cattle expert &#8211; Orley &#8211; but to complicate matters, he&#8217;s fallen in love with her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Back home, Davina MacKenzie waits for Innes to return.
