The Scottish Scheme - Paperback

Mr. Tom Grayson's world was grey-until he laid eyes on Alexander Hasket, Duke of Rosehill. Captivated by the enigmatic Rosehill, Tom bungled their introduction. A tragedy that proved inconsequential, as Rosehill forgot him altogether.

Three years later, the anonymity of a masquerade offers a rare gift-a second chance at a first impression. Their flirtatious yet earnest interlude leaves Tom enthralled, rendering it all the more devastating when he discovers that he still remains utterly forgettable to Xander.

Love is an indulgence-one of which Xander dare not dream. After two failed courtships, rumors haunt the wealthy and powerful duke. When the weight of gossip and responsibilities threaten to drown him, Xander begins to long for the Scottish estate he's never set eyes on, Kilmarnock Abbey.

Obliged to attend a masquerade that promises only misery, Xander's night takes an unexpected turn when he is charmed by a handsome stranger. But with his departure to Scotland imminent, Xander hasn't the time to entertain impossible fantasies-nor does he have patience for the nosy, fascinating Grayson brother who suddenly appears around every corner.

The Scottish Scheme follows a jaded duke and an aimless second son as they build an unconventional life together within the ruins of a noble estate. Within those crumbling abbey walls, they discover love, family, and freedom-all under the critical gaze of an exceptionally ornery sheep.
