Birthday: 7 November 1781

Age (in AN INCONVENIENT MARRIAGE): 30

Physical characteristics: Dark, longish hair; grey eyes; muscled build; slightly crooked nose from a brawl with his brothers.

Occupation/interests: Earl and laird of Clan MacCabe; enjoys estate management, tormenting his butler, and reiving.

Home: Castle MacCabe, Scottish Highlands

Malcolm inherited the title and the estate five years earlier, but due to a stipulation in his father’s will, he cannot inherit the unentailed funds necessary to keep the estate afloat until he marries. Malcolm is furious when he hears the will; he vowed never to marry after Ellie Stafford (his best friend Ferguson’s sister) turned down his proposal and became the marchioness of Folkestone instead. His vow hardened over the years, especially as the clan began to test his leadership just as they had tested his father for so many years. As laird of one of the most ungovernable clans in the Highlands, Malcolm can barely control his own family, let alone face the added challenge of marrying a woman who might try to change him.

Luckily for him, his inner barbarian is rather easy to unleash. He just has to hope that his new wife will be appalled by his medieval behavior…
