Publisher Description
To win a Scot’s heart…
Agnes St. James has no wealth, no status, and no suitors. Thankfully, she’s happy with her family, her friends, and her beloved shop, the place to buy fine silks in Edinburgh.
Felix Duncan has a thriving legal career, connections, and ambition. What he doesn’t have, despite his father’s prodding, is a wife. Fortunately, he’s content with that.
Until their paths cross, and suddenly both realize they want more. Agnes is astonished—and thrilled—that such a charming, handsome fellow is flirting with her. Felix is astonished—and bowled over—that his friend’s younger sister has grown into such a clever beauty. It looks like Fate—until a scandalous indiscretion and a shocking inheritance threaten to spoil any chance of happily-ever-after…
A companion novella to A Scot to the Heart in the Desperately Seeking Duke series.

Cute Story
This is the story of Felix Duncan and Agnes St. James. We met Felix and Agnes in A Scot to the Heart. Felix is Drew’s (hero of A Scot to the Heart) best friend and Agnes is Drew’s sister. He renews his acquaintance with the St. James Family when Drew returns to town with unexpected news. Before long it was obvious that Felix and Agnes were attracted to each other. Then, after a night of fun at the Assembly Rooms (a bit of whiskey and time alone), everything changed. They didn’t speak; they wouldn’t even look at each other. Now everyone is trying to discover what happened. Well, it seems Felix isn’t as good at romance as he is at law. It wasn’t what he said to Agnes that broke her heart, but the way he said it. How is he supposed to fix the mess he’s made?
This is a fun story. It puts most of the stress and drama of A Scot to the Heart in the background and lets the reader get to know Felix and Agnes better. He is a successful lawyer. She is independent and wishes to become a successful businesswoman. They have wonderful chemistry and are a fantastic pair. Even when they don’t think things and make mistakes, they still want to be together. A cute story with likeable characters. HEA? You bet. I enjoyed and recommend How the Scot Was Won.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Sequel novella
This is part 2.5 in Caroline Linden's Desperately Seeking Duke series. If you read part 2, A Scot to the Heart, you've already met our hero and heroine of this story, Felix and Agnes. I finished A Scot to the Heart really curious about how Felix and Agnes would work things out (and IF they would!), and I was thrilled to read this book. It stands alone as its own story, but I think works better after read A Scot to the Heart as we revisit part of that story but from Felix and Agnes' perspective. I am not sure I would’ve appreciated that as much had I not had the back story from the previous story. Novellas are not usually my favorite format, but this one really worked for me, it had a good amount of tension, but was long enough to not just wrap up too neatly at the very end.
