New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins is back with a
brand-new, sizzling series featuring three unforgettable, untamed
brothers who must marry or risk losing their inheritance.
Dashing Scottish privateer Conner Douglas must marry a respectable,
well-born woman--and soon, if he wants to secure his rightful
inheritance. Determined to still explore the high seas as well as his
mistresses' beds, he aims to find a pliable wife who'll turn a blind eye
to his antics. And he knows just the woman--childhood friend and mousy
spinster Miss Theodora Cumberbatch-Snowe.
Unbeknownst to Conner, meek and plain Theodora has been hopelessly in
love with him for years. But unwilling to wait forever for what will
never happen, Theodora plans to wed a kind--if unexciting--local
landowner, leaving behind the wild Highlander of her dreams.
Yet Conner refuses to let his perfect wife get away. He chases her to
Gretna Green and is shocked to discover the real Theodora is an ardent
and wildly sensual woman. Soon he realizes his passion to win her has
nothing to do with securing his inheritance and everything to do with
earning the love of the unforgettable woman who has vowed to leave him
in her past forever. But have his wandering ways chased the woman he
loves away for good? Or can Conner convince Theodora to give him one
last chance before she marries the wrong man?
