About this eBook
New York Times bestseller Lisa Kleypas returns with an enthralling and steaming romance between a widowed lady and a Scot on the run. Perfect for fans of Sarah MacLean, Julia Quinn and Eloisa James.
'Lisa Kleypas is the best' SARAH MACLEAN
Lady Merritt Sterling, a strong-willed young widow who's running her late husband's shipping company, knows London society is dying to catch her in a scandal. So far, she's been too smart to provide them with one. But then she meets Keir MacRae, a rough-and-rugged Scottish whisky distiller, and all her sensible plans vanish like smoke. They couldn't be more different, but their attraction is powerful, raw and irresistible.
From the moment Keir MacRae arrives in London, he has two goals. One: don't fall in love with the dazzling Lady Merritt Sterling. Two: avoid being killed.
So far, neither of those is going well.
Keir doesn't know why someone wants him dead until fate reveals his secret connection to one of England's most powerful families. His world is thrown into upheaval, and the only one he trusts is Merritt.
Their passion blazes with an intensity Merritt has never known before, making her long for the one thing she can't have from Keir MacRae: forever. As danger draws closer, she'll do whatever it takes to save the man she loves . . . even knowing he might be the devil in disguise.
Praise for Lisa Kleypas

Lady Merritt Sterling (daughter of Marcus, Lord Westcliff and Lillian from It Happened One Autumn has run her husband's shipping business since his untimely death. She has no interest or intention of ever marrying again, until Keir MacRae bursts into her office. Keir MacRae is a rough Scottish whisky manufacturer, more comfortable with the men on the wharf than the aristocracy, but no-one can deny the instant attraction between him and the beautiful Lady Merritt. The two of them are not permitted to indulge their attraction for long before Keir is the subject of not one, but two, assassination attempts. Who can want to kill him and why? I'm not normally a fan of romances featuring Scotsman (because of the 'och aye the noo' brogue) but I have to say I fell in love with Keir. He may be rough around the edges, but he's honourable and kind and absolutely gorgeous under that scruffy beard. Lisa Kleypas has knocked it out of the park with this one, drama, romance, steam and whisky, what more could you want? I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
