Nonconsensual kissing and the complete disregard of slavery made me uncomfortable. But I get it. It's a formulaic romance novella.
This book takes the reader back to the American Revolution.
Ian MacGregor was shot by a British soldier and had taken refuge in the barn of the Muphys where Allanna Flynn found him. Allanna had lost her husband and this is the home of her father and brothers.
Short story is they fall in love and he leaves for his families' home in Virginia after she refuses to marry him. Both have tempers and are stubborn. This romance story is around the time of Christmas.
No tea is drunk by the people as it is the time of British rule and the Tea Party. Even though it is a short read, there is history of America as well as Scottish history. The MacGregors are Scottish and Murphys are Irish.
This was a short story in the book, Historical Christmas show more Stories 1990. I gave it a 5 star rating because I liked the story and the characters.

En esta novela sobre un MacGregor del siglo XVIII, descubrimos que su participación en la insurrección contra los británicos no podía preparar a Ian Macgregor para la batalla que tenía entre manos: la de ganar el corazón de Alanna Flynn, una indomable fierecilla irlandesa.
