Sir Diarmot MacEnroy, deciding his illegitimate children need a mother and his keep needs a proper lady, now stands before the altar with a gentle bride he hopes is too shy to disrupt his life or break his heart. The nuptials, however, are interrupted by the appearance of a flame-haired beauty carrying two babies, boldly claiming that she is his wife and mother of his twin infant sons. Armed with her seven very large brothers, she has come to demand her due. Having waited one year for the return of the handsome laird who wed her, bedded her, then disappeared, Ilsa Campbell MacEnroy takes matters into her own hands and sets out to reclaim the man she briefly and passionately loved. Stunned by his denial, her heart softens when she learns of the injury that has ravaged his memory. Now, she faces the nearly impossible task of conquering his past--and his fierce reluctance to share his heart. . .
I enjoyed this book alot. The surprise at finding out that he already has a wife and twins just as he's about to wed another. The hardtimes have just begun. At times you want to knock his block off and at others kiss him. A very good summer read.
Funny and Heartwarming

This is my second time reading this book. Sir Diarmot MacEnroy was ambushed and left for dead over a year ago. He was returned to his keep but doesn't have much memory of what happened to him. He has several illegitimate children and decides to marry. During the ceremony he is stunned when a very angry red-headed woman and kinsmen show up with two babies claiming he is their father and handfasted (engaged) to the woman. Ilsa Campbell MacEnroy and Diarmot met right before the ambush but Diarmot doesn't remember her at all. Her kinsmen are fiery and amusing. Diarmot fights his growing attraction to Ilsa and his memory slowly returns. The precious children love Ilsa and want her to be their mother but she is fighting Diarmot's mistrust as Diarmot's heart was broken by an evil ex several years ago. Eventually Ilsa decides to return to her kinsman because she loves Diarmot but can not live with his mistrust. After several weeks apart Diarmot realizes he loves Ilsa, finds her and tells her of his love. A funny, heartwarming story that makes you believe if you have enough love, maybe everything will turn out right.
