A Duke Is Always Intrigued
(A Duke Always Book 4)
Ian McDonough, Chieftain of Clan McDonough, and Scottish Duke of Sunbridge, has grown tired of the hassles of the London season, and his mother’s insistence that he find and marry an English bride was wearing thin on him. The only good thing about London were the friends that he had made. Of course, there was a time when he enjoyed all the frivolities the London season had to offer, but the responsibilities of his clan were waiting for him back at McDonough Castle in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland and he determined it was time for him to take those responsibilities more seriously.
But thoughts of returning to Scotland fled his mind when he caught sight of a flash of blue silk at Redfield’s ball. He watched as the precocious lady skirted along the edge of the ballroom, giving the appearance that she was trying to sneak away or hide. He was instantly intrigued.
The lady, Emma Presley, niece of Viscount Yelverton, was visiting London with her uncle and aunt. Upon meeting Miss Presley, Ian was drawn to her in ways he had never been to a woman before, but Emma was not going to make things easy for him.
Emma had never been to London before and knew because of her circumstances, it was unlikely that she would ever visit again. So, she was determined to make the most of the season, which seemed to land Emma in one predicament after another.
The woman was as exasperating as she was beautiful. She was impulsive and headstrong, but regardless of the trouble she caused, Ian knew that she belonged to him, and he would do anything to keep her and take her back to Scotland as his duchess. No matter who objected, even Emma.
