Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of the beloved Windham series comes "a wonderfully funny, moving romance," (Eloisa James) perfect for fans of "sexy heroes, strong heroines, intelligent plots, [and] enchanting love stories" (Mary Balogh).

THEY CALL HIM THE DUKE OF MURDER... The gossips whisper that the new Duke of Murdoch is a brute, a murderer, and even worse--a Scot. They say he should never be trusted alone with a woman. But Megan Windham sees in Hamish something different, someone different.
No one was fiercer at war than Hamish MacHugh, though now the soldier faces a whole new battlefield: a London Season. To make his sisters happy, he'll take on any challenge--even letting their friend Miss Windham teach him to waltz. Megan isn't the least bit intimidated by his dark reputation, but Hamish senses that she's fighting battles of her own. For her, he'll become the warrior once more, and for her, he might just lose his heart.

Goodreads review by Mei on February 07, 2017

Oh dear, I hope this years HR will get better.... at least those I read.... O_o I was frustrated with this book. In the first half there's a lot of running around, a lot of people talking, scheming, nothing happened. Or, better, I could discern that there's this guy, odious and unctuous, who wanted to......more

Goodreads review by Wollstonecrafthomegirl on December 26, 2016

So, I have a theory. Burrowes does not write great novels when the setting is the London Season. It's like she's at a loss for how to bring her H/h together when they're just a standard couple courting in a standard way. Unless her heroine is the near neighbour/governess/housemaid/gal of all works o......more

3.5 stars I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Megan Windham has a powerful family full of nobility but they might not be able to save her from an indiscretion in her youth. Hamish MacHugh is a former c......more
