From USA Today bestselling author Sophie Jordan comes the next heartstopping romance in her beloved Rogue Files series.
A daring deception…
Desperate to escape her vile fiancé, Lady Clara devises a bold lie—that she’s pregnant with another man’s child. With her reputation in tatters, Clara flees to Scotland to live out her days in disgrace, resigned to her fate as a spinster…until she claps eyes on the powerful and wickedly handsome Laird Hunt MacLarin.
She’s the answer to his curse…
Laird of an ancient clan, Hunt needs an heir, but he comes from a long line of men cursed to die before the birth of their firstborn. When the Duke of Autenberry approaches him with a proposition—marry my ruined sister—it seems the perfect solution. Even better, the defiant lass stirs him to his very soul.
No escaping the truth…
Except marriage cannot set them free. No matter how much Hunt desires her. No matter how much Clara burns for him. Soon she is falling for her husband, but is love enough to end the curse? Or is the tragic history of the MacLarin Clan doomed to repeat itself?
I adore Sophie Jordan and I adore this book! As with most Historical Romance books I read this book brings the couple together due to social scandal, but unlike most of the books in its genera it’s a curse that gives this book its dramatic flair.
Lady Clara Autenberry has been shipped to her brother’s house in Scotland after her reputation was destroyed by her own self preservation efforts. On the road to sanctuary she has chance run in with the spectacular faced Highland Laird.
Hunt MacLarin is the newest Laird in his family to be faced with “the curse”, who on a chance meeting with the “ruined” sister of his neighbor the Duke of Autenberry finds new hope for a future he never dreamed possible.
This book has a very happy ending but on the way it has quite a few twists and turns that will keep you eager to see what happens next.

Another go to author for excellence in historical romance!
I totally agree!
I had a fun time with this one as well, I really did like the “curse” element that she brought into the story.
I thought the curse was a creative way to bring the two together!
