Portrait of a Scotsman

When sheltered and idealistic banking heiress Hattie Greenfield is caught in a compromising position with Lord Lucian Blackstone, a ruthless and wealthy financier, they’re compelled into a hasty marriage. Quickly suspecting that Lucian tricked her into marriage to improve his social standing among the London elite, Hattie is determined to flee. Everything shifts when they find themselves on an impromptu trip to Scotland, and their palpable chemistry draws them close despite the marriage’s grim start. As Lucian opens up about his shadowy past and slowly reveals his heart, Hattie also grows, transforming into a bold and independent woman. This enchanting third installment in the “League of Extraordinary Women” series adds a strong labor rights plot on top of the suffrage movement explored in the previous books.
