"The Duke of Killiekrankie extends an invitation to Senorita Jimena Abreu-Cuevas to sing for his pleasure. A reward of £200 will be given to the man who discovers her whereabouts and escorts her to Killiekrankie."

When Malcolm Lennox, part time magistrate and amateur sleuth, sees the duke's outrageous offer, he seeks out Kitty Fairfax, the singer's maid, to accomplish the challenge.
Kitty is hesitant to join Mr. Lennox in his search, but when her mother hears of the reward, she insists she go along, to provide for her family. Their adventure offers a distraction from daily life, but with each day that passes she realizes how empty her life would be when he returned to Scotland.
Little does Malcolm know what intrigue lies ahead, and the damage a few tender nights with a maid will do to his heart. Will he succeed in bringing the songstress to the duke, and will his reward be worth the cost?
