Publisher Description
Mystery and desire cloak the Scottish Highlands
Unruly. Unmarried. Unapologetic. Catriona Mackenzie’s reputation precedes her everywhere she goes. Her beloved late aunt Zelda taught Cat to live out loud and speak her mind, and that’s exactly what she does when Zelda’s legacy—a refuge for women in need—comes under fire. When her quest puts her in the path of the disturbingly mysterious Hamlin Graham, Duke of Montrose, Cat is soon caught up in the provocative rumors surrounding the dark duke. Never one to retreat, Cat boldly goes where no one else has dared for answers.
Shrouded in secrets, a hostage of lies, Hamlin must endure the fear and suspicion of those who believe he is a murderer. The sudden disappearance of his wife and the truth he keeps silent are a risk to his chances at earning a coveted parliamentary seat. But he’s kept his affairs tightly held until a woman with sparkling eyes and brazen determination appears unexpectedly in his life. Deadly allegations might be his downfall, but his unleashed passion could be the duke’s ultimate undoing.
Customer Reviews
Excellent Story, Engaging Characters
I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley to read in exchange for a fair review. Tempting The Laird by Julia London is the 5th book in her Highland Grooms series and while it can be read as a stand-alone I highly recommend reading the series as the stories are all excellent. While Catriona Mackenzie has accepted she is firmly on the shelf she has reached a crossroads in her life and is taking some time to ponder the direction her life will take now. She is spending the summer with her Uncle Knox and while there she meets Hamlin Graham, Duke of Montrose an enigmatic gentleman who is rumoured to have murdered his wife. Julia London as always writes engaging characters and tells a story that will keep you engrossed and up reading way past your bedtime. I think you will definitely adore Catriona and the joyful way she approaches life and Hamlin too is a most excellent hero. Medium Steam Publishing Date June 26, 2018 #TemptingTheLaird #NetGalley
