"THE LAIRD AND THE LADY" - 8 PART 2, "TOWN & COUNTRY " A NOVEL BY JOAN MARSHALL GRANT (1949)

Joan Marshall Grant wrote 7 books about her previous incarnations and this is her only fictional novel (published 1949) . A story about Marylda, an American millionaires travelling incognito to escape from fortune hunters. In a romantic French chateau she meets the Laird...they fall in love...they are summoned home to his Highland castle.
