Publisher Description
Highland war heroes rebuilding their lives grapple with ladies forging their own paths—who will win?
Regency Scotland comes alive in the vibrant and sexy new SCOTS OF HONOR series by USA Today bestselling author Eliza Knight. Scottish military heroes, who want nothing more than to lay low after the ravages of war in 19th century France, find their Highland homecomings vastly contradict their simple desires. Especially when they meet the feisty lasses who are tenacious enough to take them on, and show them just what they’ve been missing out of life. In battle they can’t be beaten, but in love, they all find the ultimate surrender.
When General Alec Hay, the Earl of Errol returns from war, his mother is determined to see him wed. Once known for his dark good looks, Alec now bears a scar over half his face that makes every potential bride cringe. He wants only to escape into the darkest room in his ruined castle and relive the harrowing moments in battle when he couldn’t save his friend. Ignoring his demands to be left alone, his mother throws a rousing house party at her Edinburgh estate. Unable to take another setup for flirtation, he rides his horse out onto their property and becomes stuck in some ruins during a torrential downpour.
Lady Giselle Hepburn, an impulsive lass, rides out from a neighboring estate in the same storm, attempting to escape her family and a forced marriage to a man with a vicious dark side. She falls off her horse and nearly tumbles over a cliff but is saved by a handsome, mysterious Highlander. With a twisted ankle, and the weather too dangerous to attempt riding, Giselle agrees to wait out the storm with the stranger.
To Alec’s shock, Giselle is the first woman who doesn’t shy away from his scar and treats him like a man rather than a hideous barbarian. As the storm rages through the night, they each confess their meddling family’s determination to see them wed——and he learns her intended is his greatest enemy. Alec insists that she accompany him back to his house to convalesce, where he presents her with a solution to both of their problems: —what if they wed each other in secret? Could a marriage of convenience free them both from their unwanted troubles, or will love be an incredibly inconvenient development?
Customer Reviews
Good story line
Better historical accuracy this time. Sorry QV did not take the throne until 1837.There was instead many Scottish uprisings and folks forced off the land and immigration from Scotland. Would love to see the assistant Eliza find HER Lady love!
The scot is hers
A scarred hero who has about gave up on life, finds a lady who is just what he needs. The things they have to go through to get their happy ever after keeps you glued to the book. Wonderful romance.
Beautifully Written
Eliza Knight’s “The Scot is Hers” book 2 of the Scots of Honor Series is a lovely addition to the series!

His meddling mother is determined to see him married and decides to throw a house party at her Edinburgh estate. His once handsome face now bears a huge scar that makes the prospects cringe in horror, so Alec, with no desire to participate in his mother’s annoying efforts rides his horse out onto their property and becomes stuck in some ruins during a torrential downpour.
Lady Giselle Hepburn, in an attempt to escape her family and a forced marriage to an evil man rides out into the storm. Falling off her horse and nearly tumbling over a cliff she is saved by a handsome, mysterious Highlander. Giselle agrees to wait out the storm with the stranger having twisted her ankle, and the weather too dangerous for riding. Throughout the night these two souls get to know one another and confess what drove them out into the storm. Alec convinces her to come back to his home to convalesce and there he proposes a solution to her to solve both their problems.
Alec is a man haunted by the devastation of war with scars both visible and hidden. He’s a brave, noble gentleman, a kind and good man in spite of the fact that he’s brooding, distrustful and scarred. Giselle Is a young woman with spirit, courage, compassion and a delightful sarcastic sense of humor. She brings light into his life and sees him as he truly is. She sees the man not his scar.
I loved this book, it’s characters were just wonderfully written, and well developed. I love the author’s sense of romance and her innate ability to bring her characters to life. She pens well-rounded, believable, and very alive characters in this story. Her rich, visual and sensory prose crafts with immense skill a story that both captivates you while holding you spellbound. The witty banter, the love language and the author’s descriptions are just fabulous! This is a story filled with emotion, angst, passions and sensuality, beautifully written and wonderfully told.
Thank you so much Ms. Knight for this excellent story. I look forward to reading the next book story in this lovely series.
