Biographie:
Can happily ever after exist somewhere between virtue and valor? Bartholomew Yancy never intended to take a wife. But the earldom he inherited changed everything. Now, as Earl of Ramsbury and last of his line, he's obligated to resign his position as England's War Secretary, find a wife, and produce an heir-in that order. It's just his unfortunate luck that the enchanting Scotswoman he wants to marry is entirely...disinterested. Isobel Ferguson had all but abandoned hope of finding a husband in the Highlands. Men here-just like men everywhere else-only seemed to fancy her appearance, not her intellect. She's sure the disarmingly attractive Yancy is no different. If he thinks she'll fall prey to a notorious rake like him, he's severely underestimated her. But when a case of mistaken identity and an abduction gone wrong lands her in a compromising situation, marrying Yancy might be the only way to salvage her damaged reputation.
