Cover Reveal – OCTOBER 2023

RELEASE, JANUARY 2026

Raised in the wild Highlands, Bartholomew Pherson is rude, a bit uncivilized, and as wild as the ocean waves that crash against the cliffs beneath his Highland home. What he wants most is to be left alone. After the death of his great-uncle, Bartholomew inherits the Dukedom of West-Mar. Called by his family “the reluctant heir”, Bartholomew desires no title nor obligations, but his will, will not be done.

Once Bartholomew gets the summons he dreads, he will have to travel to the turbulent borderlands of Scotland and England to the place that he will call home. Once behind the high walls of West-Mar, Bartholomew will be groomed to represent his title and then must find a wife he doesn’t want.

“I trust ye, with all mi heart.”

Since Cora Beauregard was a child, she has known that she wanted to be a teacher of the scriptures like her mother, teaching alongside her father at his church. A teacher is what she calls herself, but a new title awaits her in England.

Cora misses her South African home. When her estranged uncle dies and Cora’s father becomes the new Earl of Highwether, Cora is thrust into London’s aristocracy her first season and onto the path of the ever-elusive Duke of West-Mar.
