Lady Abigail MacNaught has played the fool for ten years without anyone the wiser. Not even her brothers know the truth. So how is it that Hawk can see the woman beneath the façade, can sense the wild spirit that longs to be free? Abby wants nothing more than to share her secrets – and herself – with him, but how can she when the safety of so many rests on her charade?
Arthur Deighton, Duke of Hawksburg, dislikes Scots in general and the MacNaught brothers in particular. They’ve been a nuisance since the moment he met them, but he’ll gladly endure their barbaric company if it means getting close to their sister, a lady as mysterious as she is lovely. Never has he yearned to know a woman as he does this Scottish lass. Somehow, he will find way to earn her trust and her love.
