"Miss Lillian Hargrove has lived much of her life alone in a gilded cage, longing for love and companionship. When an artist offers her pretty promises and begs her to pose for a scandalous portrait, Lily doesn't hesitate . . . until the lying libertine leaves her in disgrace. With the painting now public, Lily has no choice but to turn to the one man who might save her from ruin. The Duke of Warnick loathes all things English, none more so than the aristocracy. It does not matter that the imposing Scotsman has inherited one of the most venerable dukedoms in Britain--he wants nothing to do with it, especially when he discovers that the unwanted title comes with a troublesome ward, one who is far too old and far too beautiful to be his problem. Warnick arrives in London with a single goal: get the chit married and see …

Warnick arrives in London with a single goal: get the chit married and see her become someone else's problem, then return to a normal, quiet life in Scotland. It's the perfect plan, until Lily declares she'll only marry for love . . . and the Scot finds that there is one thing in England he likes far too much . . ."-- page 4 of cover.

Review of 'A Scot in the Dark' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

What a super fun book, I normally might take a week or so to read a book like this but I finished reading it in about two days, I was hooked from the start. Like the first book in the series, the characters are so much fun to read, it's real enjoyable. There's little things that you could argue about, saying they detract from the story, but it had me emotionally invested the whole way through. I read the first book long enough ago that I'd forgotten how some of the carried-over characters related to one another, it would have been more fun to read these closer in time so it was more fresh in my memory. I pre-ordered the next book in the series.
