Even though Hamish rescues her (thanks to Rupert) and wants to marry her, Rose is afraid to accept. Maryanne (wicked witch), the former Laird’s mistress, still lived at Baleith Castle (and wanted to stay there), so she tried get rid of Rose. In fact, they don’t like each other at first, but they can’t stop thinking about each other. One day, Rose goes for a long walk through the woods and is discovered sleeping in the grass on the property of the new Laird of Baleith, Hamish McTavish. There’s a beautiful damsel (Rose) hidden away and protected by three loving, but eccentric, ladies (Aunt, Housekeeper, and Cook). Wake me With a Kiss is a sweet Scottish retelling of Sleeping Beauty – sort of. In Once Upon a Regency Samantha Holt gives us a set of charming Regency versions of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, and Cinderella, three familiar stories with just a few twists.
