Plot Summary of The Pride of Jared MacKade
"Jared MacKade meets Savannah Morningstar when he delivers her father's worldly belongings to her and she shoves them back at him. Jared decides she is obnoxious, stubborn, and completely irresistible, despite the fact that she does a wonderful job of resisting him. He wants to discover the truth behind the secrets she keeps to herself--as well as convince her that she is not below him in any way."
Sarrah, Resident Scholar
