On leave from his Highland regiment, Captain Liam Lockhart comes to London on an urgent mission: to repossess the stolen family heirloom that could save his ancestral estate. He never dreamed it would involve surrendering his heart, but the beautiful and scandalous socialite Ellen Farnsworth sets his Highland blood aflame with a will as strong and reckless as his own. Though bound to Liam by a soul-searing passion, duty impels Ellen to commit a terrible betrayal.
Now, driven by passion, pride, and vengeance, this fearsome Highlander will reclaim not only his family's ancient treasure, but the one daring woman he was meant to love for all time.

UGH! This novel cured me, albeit I'm sure only temporarily, of my streak of romances. There was just so much to dislike! London leaned way too heavily into the “look at the man from Scotland trying to adjust to big city London” (I will admit that Outlander raised my awareness about just how much British bullshit gets directed toward Scotland, in addition to, ya know, their history of colonialist violence), and as a result, the Highlander just appears dumb as a rock. I didn't love the chemistry between him and Ellen, and SHE is a piece of work. I suppose her betrayal and his forgiveness is supposed to show us how love conquers all, but her moment of reckoning rings false, and it's not comprehensible why exactly he finds her behavior excusable given that she never even really gave a good apology! Color me frustrated, and it was bad enough that I'm not sure I'd try this author again.
