Publisher Description
From New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Enoch, a captivating new Scottish historical romance in the irresistibly seductive Wild Wicked Highlanders series, featuring the sexy MacTaggert brothers.
The MacTaggert brothers have just one duty: marry English noblewomen or lose their land!
Coll MacTaggert, the eldest of the brothers, is a brawny, stubborn Highlander who will not be tricked to the altar by anyone—not even his own vexed mother, who's engineered the ultimate plot: Marry an Englishwoman, or forfeit the ancestral estate. But when Coll crosses swords with the clever, enchanting, and anything-but-common Persephone Jones, he realizes he may have met his match in the beguiling, beautiful woman…
The problem is, Persephone isn't interested in marriage. Admired, free-spirited, and independent, she's also an expert at dodging marriage traps. She doesn't need a stubborn, headstrong Scot disrupting her life, even if he sometimes seems to know her better than she knows herself. When Coll discovers that Persephone is actually a lady-in-disguise and that someone is after her inheritance…Well, Coll has never backed down from danger—and no one threatens a Highlander's lady and gets away with it!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The Regency theater world takes center stage in the delightful finale to Enoch's Wild Wicked Highlanders series (after Scot Under the Covers). Actress Persephone Jones's finest performance takes place offstage, where she hides her true identity as the missing Lady Temperance Hartwood, daughter to a marquis. But when a series of mysterious accidents make her believe that someone is targeting her, she calls on burly highlander Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril, to protect her. Coll has four weeks to marry an English woman if he hopes to continue receiving funds from his mother, so he and Persephone come to an agreement: he'll protect her, and in exchange, she'll help him land a respectable bride though unbeknownst to Persephone, she's the one he's chosen. Series fans will be delighted to get better acquainted with Coll, the oldest and last of the MacTaggert brothers to be paired off, and he and Persephone make a formidable couple. But as their relationship heats up, the list of suspects as to who might be targeting Persephone grows. Though the final reveal feels a bit out of left field, the sizzling sensuality and constant surprises make the journey well worth it. With this captivating mixture of romance and suspense, Enoch sends the series out on a high note.
