New York Times bestselling author Karen Ranney's third book in her Duke
series spins the tale of a reluctant duke who must choose between his
life in America--and the Scottish woman he's destined to love...
As the ward to the late Duke of Lothian, Elsbeth Carew resides at the
ancestral estate of Bealadair. Fiercely attached to the manor, she loves
it more than anyone else. When Connor McCraight--the new Duke of
Lothian--arrives, Elsbeth does not quite know what to make of the
American who has inherited the title but has never even set foot on
Scottish soil. The tall, ruggedly handsome Texan sweeps through
Bealadair with an air of authority Elsbeth has never encountered.
Connor has no intention of making Scotland his home and hopes to sell
the estate as soon as possible. But his plan is jeopardized when he
meets Elsbeth. A sweet, gray-eyed beauty, she tempts him in ways no
other woman has. As word spreads of Connor's intention to sell
Bealadair, his life is threatened--and the only woman who can save him
may be the one he has hopelessly lost his heart to.
