Highland Scandal (Scandalous)
After rumors (untrue, not that it matters) naming Jack Haines as one of Princess Caroline’s lovers begin to surface in London, the earl packs his bags and heads for Scotland one step ahead of Prince George’s men. While on the run, Jack becomes the “guest” of Highland laird Carson Beal, who gives him a choice: either agree to a handfasting with Elizabeth Drummond Beal, or Carson will turn Jack over to his pursuers. Marriage or death? The choice seems obvious until Jack gets to know his intractable, insufferable, and irresistible new wife. London’s signature nuanced characters, subtle wit, and elegantly sexy style blend flawlessly in the second captivating installment of her fabulous Regency-set Scandalous series. --John Charles
