This is a delightful historical romance that just wants for you to curl up on a sofa with a large mug of cocoa on a cool fall day and get lost in the book. But the journalists get wind and start a campaign to couple Rose with the scandalous Steven McBride. Steven is happy to open his eyes and find the beautiful woman standing over him, and happy to help spirit her away. The Scot is Steven McBride–a decorated soldier who is notorious for heavy gambling and womanizing during his leave time. Rose does not need to be found with a large, handsome Scot passed out at her feet, fueling gossips and giving her brother-in-law more ammunition. The duke left her with a large widow’s portion, now contested by his younger brother, who kicks Rose out of the estate’s dower house and uses it to kennel his dogs. It’s never her fault–honor bright–but newspapers love to write about the young woman from Scotland, and the much older duke she married, who died on their honeymoon. Scandal follows Rose Barclay, young widow of the Duke of Southdown, wherever she goes.
