Portrait of a Scotsman

A League of Extraordinary Women, Book 3

By: Evie Dunmore

Narrated by: Elizabeth Jasicki

Going toe-to-toe with a brooding Scotsman is rather bold for a respectable suffragist, but when he happens to be one's unexpected husband, what else is an unwilling bride to do?

London banking heiress Hattie Greenfield wanted just three things in life:

1. Acclaim as an artist
2. A noble cause
3. Marriage to a young lord who puts the gentle in gentleman

Why then does this Oxford scholar find herself at the altar with the darkly attractive financier Lucian Blackstone? Trust Hattie to take an invigorating little adventure too far. Now she's stuck with a churlish Scot who just might be the end of her ambitions....

When the daughter of his business rival all but falls into his lap, Lucian sees opportunity. As a self-made man, he has vast wealth but holds little power, and Hattie might be the key to finally setting his political plans in motion. Driven by an old desire for revenge, he has no room for his new wife's apprehensions or romantic notions, bewitching as he finds her.

But a sudden journey to Scotland paints everything in a different light. Hattie slowly sees the real Lucian and realises she could win everything - as long as she is prepared to lose her heart.

Best in the series

I have loved all of the books in this series... the stories (and the women) keep getting more real and complex. I still have one to go, can't wait!

would recommend best spice in the series

Great couple with a great dynamic. Best spice scenes in the series so far. Also love a historical romance that acknowledges the complexities of history.
