Abducted by a band of renegade Scots, Highland gypsy Tasara Faas blackens her rescuer’s eye when the charming duke attempts to steal a kiss. Afterward, Tasara learns she’s the long-lost heiress Alexandra Atterberry and is expected to take her place among the elite society she’s always disdained.

Lucan, the Duke of Harcourt, promised his gravely ill mother he’d procure a wife by Christmastide, but intrigued by the feisty lass he saved in Scotland, he finds the haut ton ladies lacking. Spying Alexa at a London ball, he impulsively decides to make the knife-wielding gypsy his bride despite her aversion to him and her determination to return to the Highlands.

The adversary responsible for Alexa’s disappearance as a toddler still covets her fortune and joins forces with Harcourt’s arch nemesis. Amidst a series of suspicious misfortunes, Lucan endeavors to win Alexa’s love and expose the conspirators but only succeeds in reaffirming Alexa’s belief that she is inadequate to become his duchess.

EXCERPT

“Duke? What’s a ruddy English duke doing sneaking into a Scottish keep’s chamber?” Tasara flinched. She hadn’t meant to speak aloud.

“Why, rescuing you, of course.”

Did he wink? Cocky fellow, wasn’t he? But then, he was a duke. The attitude came with the title, no doubt present from birth. Probably had his noble bum and snotty nose wiped with the finest linen or silk from birth. Astonishing that he deemed to exert himself enough to muster a sweat. Didn’t nobility have servants do everything for them?

She tilted her head.

Muted voices and calls echoed from somewhere in the keep.

The horrific shrieks and roars of minutes ago ceased, although an occasional shrill cry rang through the stone passageways and raised the hair along her nape.

“Ye be here to rescue us?” Holding Lala’s pudgy hand, György kneeled on the bed, his ebony eyes wary and no doubt sprinkled with a dab of excitement too.

In the muted light, Tasara couldn’t be certain. Lads dreamed about adventure of this sort.

“I am, indeed, young sir.” His grace smiled, his teeth bright in the half-light. “Whom do I have the pleasure of addressing?”

György shook loose his sister’s grip.

She jammed her thumb in her mouth and toyed with the curls tumbled atop her left shoulder. She stared at the duke, her gaze wide and distrusting.

After scooting from the bed, György gave a handsome bow. “György Faas, Yer Highness, and these be me sisters, Tasara and Lala.”

“It’s your grace, György, not your highness.” I think. Tasara’s attention swung between the duke and her brother. Harcourt probably had been treated like royalty his entire life.

“Grace? Are ye sure, Tasara?” György pulled a silly face and snickered. “That be a lass’s name.”

The duke chuckled again, the rich timbre resonating from his chest. “So it is. Most embarrassing, I’ll admit, but I’m afraid someone started the ridiculous tradition far too long ago for me to change things now. I’m just grateful they didn’t select Chastity or Prudence.”

“Aye, me too, Your Chastity.” György clutched his belly in glee and laughed harder. “Don’t ye have a given name?”

“Indeed, I do. Several as matter of fact. Named for my father, Rochester, though I prefer to be addressed as Harcourt or Lucan, which is part of my middle name, Lucan-Ashford.”

Who do you think Lala and Gyorgy are?
