Lady Sibylla Cavers does not want to marry a man her father has picked out for her. She has already left three men at the altar. Her father is not pleased with her and has given up on trying to find her a husband. One day while riding alone Sibylla hears a child's scream. Seeing a young girl in the River Tweed, she jumps in to save her and then finds herself needing help. Her rescuer is Simon Murray, the Laird of Elishaw, one of the men she left at the altar. Sibylla knows that he is still angry with her, so is wary of recovering in his home.

Simon can't believe that the woman he rescued is Sibylla. He has never forgiven her and has vowed to make her pay for embarrassing him. But he can't seem to get over her beauty and charm. While she recovers and they travel together to Sibylla's home, he gets to know her better. They argue while trying to conceal their growing affection for each other. Simon can't believe that he would fall for someone so independent and stubborn. And Sibylla wants to stay single. But the more time they spend together, the more Sibylla knows that Simon is the one for her.

Border Moonlight is the third book in the Border series, following Border Lass and Border Wedding. Amanda Scott has a knack of telling a story in a way that makes readers feel as though they are in the castles watching events unfold. Sibylla and Simon are both lovable, and well suited for each other. The Scottish dialect and historical context suit the story well and are not overwhelming. Border Moonlight makes a great weekend read.
