Highland war heroes rebuilding their lives grapple with ladies forging their own paths—who will win?

Regency Scotland comes alive in the vibrant and sexy new SCOTS OF HONOR series by USA Today bestselling author Eliza Knight. Scottish military heroes, who want nothing more than to lay low after the ravages of war in 19th century France, find their Highland homecomings vastly contradict their simple desires. Especially when they meet the feisty lasses who are tenacious enough to take them on, and show them just what they’ve been missing out of life. In battle they can’t be beaten, but in love, they all find the ultimate surrender.

When Lord Alec Hay, Earl of Errol and General of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and Earl of Errol returns from war, his mother is determined to see him wed. But he wants only to escape into the darkest room in his ruined castle and relive the harrowing moments in battle where he was unable to save his best friend. After two years, and ignoring his demands to be left alone, his mother throws a rousing house party at her Edinburgh estate. Once known for his dark good looks, Alec now bears a scar along his face that sends every potential bride to cringing. Unable to take yet another setup for flirtation, he rides his horse out onto their property and becomes stuck in some ruins during a torrential downpour.

 

Lady Giselle Hepburn, an impulsive lass, rides out from a neighboring estate in the same storm, attempting to escape her family and a forced marriage to a man with a vicious dark side. She falls off her horse and nearly tumbles over a cliff, but is saved by a handsome, mysterious Highlander. With a twisted ankle, and the weather too dangerous to attempt riding, Giselle agrees to ride out the storm all night with the stranger.

 

To Alec’s shock, Giselle is the first woman who doesn’t shy away from his scar. She treats him like a man rather than a hideous barbarian. As the storm rages through the night, they each confess their meddling family’s determination to see them wed--and he learns her intended is his greatest enemy. Alec insists she accompany him back to his house to convalesce, where he presents her with a solution to both of their problems--what if they wed each other in secret? Could a marriage of convenience free them both from their unwanted troubles, or could love be an incredibly inconvenient development?
