• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

♥ An English marquess disguised as a commoner ♥ A spunky Scottish lass ♥ A glamorous makeover ♥ A close-knit, meddling family ♥ Steamy romance!

Another enchanting romance featuring New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal's "outrageously funny, loyal, compassionate, and unconventional" Chase family!

As a marquess and the eldest of four orphaned siblings, Jason Chase is used to taking responsibility for everyone around him-whether they appreciate it or not. So when a shocking crime is committed on his estate, he knows it's up to him to hunt down the perpetrators. Heavy on guilt and light on luggage, he takes to the road…

And runs smack dab into a hapless Scottish lad.

Who turns out to be a lovely Scottish lass.

Though it's her first time in England, Caithren Leslie can take care of herself, thank you very much. But when Jason accidentally knocks her down and decides that makes her his responsibility, he won't take no for an answer. And though he's a pigheaded (and, very well, rather handsome) Englishman who finds her Scots speech unintelligible, beneath their constant bickering runs a current of something else…

Through long days on the road and even longer nights, what begins as getting on each other's nerves becomes stripping down one another's defenses and discovering what lies beneath, until all is laid bare. Including the one secret that could destroy their fledgling love…

PLEASE NOTE: This book was formerly titled "Emerald."

Autorenporträt

I decided to become a writer in the third grade (or, as my Canadian friends call it, grade three), after winning a "Why My Mother is the Greatest" essay contest and having my entry published in a major newspaper. Seeing my words in print was a thrill! But everyone told me it's too hard for novelists to get published, so after college I spent fourteen years as the CEO of my own jewelry store chain before writing my first book. A mistake? Maybe...but my first heroine, Amethyst, was a jeweler, so at least I took advantage of that wise old saying, "Write what you know." And I learned a good lesson: Don't let other people tell you what you can or can't do!

I write humorous historical romance mostly set in England and Scotland in the 17th and 19th centuries (Restoration and Regency periods). I've been oh-so-lucky to see my books hit bestseller lists all over the world, including the New York Times and USA Today lists, and win awards including the Golden Quill and Booklist's Top 10 Romance of the Year, making this second career a real dream come true. I live in Southern California with my husband, our three young adult children, and one constantly shedding cat, and I still think my mother is the greatest!
