Another enchanting romance featuring New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal’s “outrageously funny, loyal, compassionate, and unconventional” Chase family! As a marquess and the eldest of four orphaned siblings, Jason Chase is used to taking responsibility for everyone around him—whether they appreciate it or not. So when a shocking crime is committed on his estate, he knows it’s up to him to hunt down the perpetrators. Heavy on guilt and light on luggage, he takes to the road… And runs smack dab into a hapless Scottish lad. Who turns out to be a lovely Scottish lass. Though it’s her first time in England, Caithren Leslie can take care of herself, thank you very much. But when Jason accidentally knocks her down and decides that makes her his responsibility, he won’t take no for an answer. And though he’s a pigheaded (and, very well, rather handsome) Englishman who finds her Scots speech unintelligible, beneath their constant bickering runs a current of something else… Through long days on the road and even longer nights, what begins as getting on each other’s nerves becomes stripping down one another’s defenses and discovering what lies beneath, until all is laid bare. Including the one secret that could destroy their fledgling love… PLEASE NOTE: This book was formerly titled “Emerald.” BOOK DETAILS A complete, standalone story—no cliffhangers!
