A hard-boiled Scottish newspaper editor falls for the scandalous woman he's using to boost paper circulation, realizing that he rather pursue her than expose her. This is a nice ensemble cast, including a lesbian editor and a reasonable sister in law.
Caroline Burkett has just been through a major scandal for suing her former fiancé after he married an American heiress. She believes her only hope at marriage is to find it while staying at her brother’s home in Scotland, Little does anyone know but she is procuring help from match-maker, Moira Sullivan.
Caroline’s scandal made her fodder for the gossip sheets do she can’t imagine Moira would find newspaper owner, Jonathan Moray, a good match.
Jonathan Moray has risen to success after getting his start from writing a gossip column. He quickly sees that Caroline’s notarity would sell more papers. He just needs to ignore the growing attraction he has for her each time they meet. Jonathan may publish secrets but he has a few of his own he is protective of. Will both Carloline and Jonathan be able to trust each other with their secrets with so much at stake?
There was so much I loved about this story. I was glad this couple was not forced together by a match-maker but instead came together on their own accord. Their story progressed at a nice pace with still enough heat for this genre. The only downside for me was, as in the last book in this series, the hero didn’t grovel enough after committing an error in judgment. Jonathan’s pride would have cost a HEA if it wasn’t for Caroline taking the reins in her own life. The epilogue was helpful with this issue however. Very enjoyable read.
On a side note to the author and publisher: A novella on Caroline’s brother, Michael, and his attempt to make a go of his Society marriage would be wonderful!
