A Scot in the Dark (Scandal & Scoundrel, #2)

by Sarah MacLean

"Miss Lillian Hargrove has lived much of her life alone in a gilded cage, longing for love and companionship. When an artist offers her pretty promises and begs her to pose for a scandalous portrait, Lily doesn't hesitate . . . until the lying libertine leaves her in disgrace. With the painting now public, Lily has no choice but to turn to the one man who might save her from ruin. The Duke of Warnick loathes all things English, none more so than the aristocracy. It does not matter that the imposing Scotsman has inherited one of the most venerable dukedoms in Britain--he wants nothing to do with it, especially when he discovers that the unwanted title comes with a troublesome ward, one who is far too old and far too beautiful to be his problem. Warnick arrives in London with a single goal: get the chit married and see her become someone else's problem, then return to a normal, quiet life in Scotland. It's the perfect plan, until Lily declares she'll only marry for love . . . and the Scot finds that there is one thing in England he likes far too much . . ."-- page 4 of cover.

With her head held high The Duke of Warnick never expected to have to have much interaction with his English properties or his dukedom, he was 18th in line for the title, and within 2 weeks all the other elegible males in the list were dead. A proud scotsman he wants no truck with the title but has enough of a conscience to keep the estates and houses going.He doesn't realise that he also inherited a ward from one of the estates, and now shes about to create a scandal. She has been painted naked and it's about to go on display in a major exhibition. She wants freedom and he wants her married and away from scandal and wants back to Scotland yesterday.
Fun relationships , entertaining characters, I enjoyed the read.
