The Duke’s All That
Thirteen years ago, earl’s daughter Seraphina married strapping, orphaned Iain MacInnes, only to be parted immediately. After he becomes the Duke of Balgair and learns Seraphina isn’t dead after all, Iain tracks her down on the Isle of Synne where she’s hiding with her younger sisters. Seraphina, believing Iain betrayed her all those years ago, agrees to initiate divorce proceedings, but as they travel to Scotland together, days in a close carriage and nights in intimate inns lead to revelations and renewed attraction.
Seraphina is one tough heroine; hardened by trauma and hatred, ashamed of the choices she made to support her sisters through lean times, she’s certain she knows best for everyone. She won’t bend an inch, though she does seek comfort, then sex from Iain while insisting he make no claims on her. Iain, lovestruck all over again, will take her on any terms she sets. There’s little historical detail to indicate the Regency setting, but historical romance readers who adore sexy Scottish men in kilts, funny animal sidekicks, forced proximity, and second chances will enjoy Seraphina and Iain’s rocky travels back to wedded bliss.
