Genres: Fiction
Morag had celebrated her seventeenth birthday shortly before her wedding to the earl. The earl was fifty-four. She was a true Highland beauty with thick, curly, dark-red hair and a creamy complexion. There are two types of redheads in Scotland. One is the more sandy-haired variety which goes with a pale, freckled complexion and light eyelashes. The second category, to which Morag belonged, has hair of a red which is almost purple in tone and has all the beauty of a flawless complexion and vivid... eyes.
Her eyes were of a particularly intense blue and were fringed with heavy black lashes. Such notables as His Grace, the Duke of Wellington, might consider red hair “unfortunate” and go so far as to shave his son’s eyebrows in an attempt to mitigate some of the unsightly color, but Morag was still far from the hot drawing rooms of London, and, in Perthshire, Scotland, where she was in the process of settling into her new married life, her hair was considered a thing of beauty.
Two weeks after her marriage, she was pacing the castle gardens and wondering uneasily if all marriages were like hers.
