After 17 deaths, the titular Scot Alec finds he's assumed the title Duke of Warnick and one ward, the beautiful Lillian Hargrove. Embroiled in a scandal regarding a nude painting after an ill-advised relationship with an artist, Lily is desperate to escape. However, Alec has other plans for her, namely finding a man for her to marry, although it seems he may be the best one for the job...

So much fun. I love Sarah MacLean's characters. She gives them wonderfully damaged pasts, but brings them together in the best ways. Can't wait for the next one!

**listened to on audiobook and I found just as charming and just as steamy as the first go around. These are two characters who you want to scream JUST KISS ALREADY! and when they do it is so so good.
